Former Kentucky Dentist Avoids Prison in Opioid Overdose Case: A former Northern Kentucky dentist, Jay Sadrinia, received time served in federal court for illegally prescribing morphine to a patient who later died from an overdose. Sadrinia, who had previously served eleven months in prison, was sentenced to an additional time served after his original convictions were overturned on appeal. Prosecutors highlighted his habit of prescribing opioids to dental patients and his attempt to cover up the prescription after the patients death. Defense lawyers argued that Sadrinia had served the community for thirty years and had been financially destroyed by the case. The judge noted that there was no intent to cause death, but rather a bad call to treat pain that led to lifelong misery. Sadrinia is now banned from practicing dentistry or prescribing opioids, bringing an end to a case that shook local healthcare.
