Kansas doctor, wife sentenced to prison in overdose deaths
news.yahoo.com
A Kansas doctor and his wife were given decades-long prison sentences Thursday for their convictions in a moneymaking conspiracy linked to 68 drug overdose deaths, with the judge saying the couple was motivated purely by greed.
Dr. Stephen Schneider and his wife, Linda, pleaded for mercy as a judge reassessed their original sentences following a ruling in another case by the U.S. Supreme Court.
But prosecutors argued the couple didn't deserve mercy, saying they created a clinic permeated by fraud that cost numerous lives, created many addictions to prescription pain medication and cost government health care programs millions of dollars.
"Even here today, I don't think you appreciate all the harm you caused — the deaths, addictions all ... to get money," U.S. District Judge Monti Belot told the couple. "If there was any decent medical care, it pales in comparison."
The judge sided with prosecutors by again sentencing the doctor to 30 years in prison and his wife to 33 years.
