News, Is your doctor a criminal? (medical, death)

[JD59]

You've probably heard of Dr. Conrad Murray, who stands accused of involuntary manslaughter in the death of pop star Michael Jackson, but you may not have heard of Dr. Khristine Eroshevich or Dr. Sandeep Kapoor or Dr. Phil Astin or Dr. James Graves.

Eroshevich and Kapoor stand accused of illegally prescribing drugs to an addict, actress Anna Nicole Smith.
