...similar claim is made on behalf of ribavirin, a drug already marketed in 30 foreign countries by Viratek, a small West Coast firm.

"By God, we've done it," whispered Rhode Island Assistant Attorney General Stephen Famiglietti. But as Jury Foreman Barbara Connett twice pronounced the verdict "Guilty," Claus von Bülow, 55, did not even flinch.
