Closing arguments set in Kansas ‘pill mill’ case
WICHITA, Kan. — Closing arguments will cap the eighth week of trial for a Kansas doctor whose clinic has been linked by prosecutors to 68 overdose deaths.
Dr. Stephen Schneider and his wife, Linda, are charged in a 34-count indictment with unlawfully prescribing drugs, health care fraud and money laundering at their Haysville clinic.
Prosecutors called their last rebuttal witness Tuesday and the federal court jury was then read instructions.
Closing arguments are expected to take five hours.
