A federal bankruptcy judge says he'll rule Friday on the fate of Purdue Pharma and its owners, members of the Sackler family, who are at the center of a national reckoning over the deadly opioid epidemic.

Judge Robert Drain signaled he is likely to approve the reorganization plan for the makers of OxyContin.

But he also demanded last-minute changes limiting legal immunities granted under the deal to the Sacklers and their associates.
