Excerpt:
“A key government witness [Jennifer Riggle] was sentenced Thursday to six months in prison for repeatedly violating her probation conditions. Riggle’s probation was revoked for shoplifting and failing three drug tests. [She] originally avoided prison by testifying against Dr. Rottschaefer, a former Oakmont doctor convicted in March 2004 on 153 counts of illegally prescribing painkillers.”

Well, I guess that’s appropriate.

Now: RELEASE DR. ROTTSHAEFER, victim of an OBVIOUSLY vindictive prosecution by the notoriously politically ambitious and self-absorbed U.S. Attorney, Mary Beth Buchanan.

The entire Rottschaefer prosecution was a shameful travesty. Dr. Rottschaefer is innocent; Mary Beth Buchanan is a demagogic creep.
