Justice?

SENTENCE SHOWS FLAWS IN SYSTEM

Something is terribly wrong with our judicial system when a 74-year-old
physician with a previously unblemished 48-year career is sentenced to
almost 20 years in prison despite independent expert testimony that the
prescriptions he wrote were appropriate.

Something is very wrong when admitted liars and drug abusers testify
against and help convict a man of unquestionable integrity.

I believe Dr. Ricardo Alerre will be found innocent through the appeals
process, but the injustice done to this compassionate, honorable man by an
over-zealous Drug Enforcement Administration and a flawed legal system can
never be erased.
