Federal Prosecutors Target Doctors – But Discovery Rules Give Them an Unfair Advantage

Federal Prosecutors Target Doctors – But Discovery Rules Give Them an Unfair Advantage

Stephen Keller, founder of Justice Reformation Foundation, is sounding the alarm about a troubling trend: federal prosecutors are increasingly targeting licensed physicians—often on flimsy evidence—while discovery rules stack the deck against defendants.

His research documents the pattern of these prosecutions and the systemic discovery gaps that enable them. But here’s what makes this urgent: These same tactics are being used against innocent people across the country, not just doctors.

Why Your Audience Cares:

If federal prosecutors can target respected physicians and rig the discovery process, it could happen to any professional. Business owners, entrepreneurs, and everyday Americans should understand how the federal justice system has become a tool of prosecution where “the process itself is the punishment.”
