Where does it say that? All I see is this:
Pyle had been prescribed short-acting and long-acting opiate-based painkillers for years after being diagnosed with an inoperable mid-back disc herniation from a dirt-bike accident.
If that counts as evidence of fraud sufficient for criminal charges to be filed, I think we have a problem.
- shirro 11y agoEvidence only counts if you can't get the victim to plead guilty to a lesser charge. A bit of trial by media, career damage, pressure on the family, legal costs and who is going to contest a charge. Sadly society doesn't seem to care about the occasional Aaron Swartz getting caught in the machine.
