Evidence and source review
What the reviewed record supports
The upgraded indictment reflects a grand jury’s probable-cause determination, not a verdict. Causation will depend on the final autopsy, the substance and dose administered, sourcing and preparation, emergency response, records and expert testimony. Marketing claims about NAD+ do not prove causation in this case.
