U.S. Supreme Court Refuses To Hear Ex-InterMune CEO's Appeal

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday said it would not review the fraud conviction of former InterMune Inc Chief Executive Scott Harkonen for a statement he made about the effectiveness of one of the company's drugs. Harkonen was prosecuted by the U.S. Justice Department for promoting the use of Actimmune as a treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a lung disease, in a news release the company issued in 2002. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration had not approved the drug for that purpose.
