Dr. Daniel Alberto Carpman faces serious charges for allegedly writing excessive Oxycodone prescriptions. Prosecutors claim he issued repeated prescriptions for patients who did not require the medication, enabling a distribution network. Allegations included his connection with a corrupt federal agent and the financial gains from the scheme. Despite the prosecution's assertions, Carpman's defense argues that he was merely practicing legitimate medicine and seeks to counter the claims of conspiracy and illegal distribution. The case highlights ongoing issues of prescription drug abuse and medical misconduct in the U.S.
Prosecutor Christopher Clark said Carpman prescribed up to 120 30 mg Oxycodone pills a month for each patient, as he held up a bottle of painkillers with a street value of $3,600.
Carpman's defense attorney told jurors that the 71-year-old Miami doctor's case may sound 'strange,' but he did not commit a crime because he was practicing 'legitimate medicine,' treating his patients for pain.
Mycki Ratzan argued the government's evidence lacks proof of criminal intent, stating, 'Everything about this conspiracy [allegation] is wrong.'
