Accused Pill Mill Doctor Will Be in a Reno Courtroom Today

Lawyers for a Reno doctor accused of being involved in an illegal pill ring says U.S. prosecutors have reneged on a deal to allow his release after being jailed more than a year without bail. Prosecutors say Dr. Robert Rand’s lawyers are misrepresenting the negotiations ahead of his July 25 trial. The two sides go before a federal judge in Reno today to argue a fourth time whether Rand is too big of flight risk to be released on bail under strict conditions. Rand’s lawyers say his due process rights are being violated.
