The wife of Dr. Shakeel Kahn accused of orchestrating a multi-state prescription drug conspiracy wants the trial for them and other defendants set to begin April 29 to be moved to Cheyenne because of convenience and "toxic" pretrial publicity, according to a motion filed in federal court Wednesday...
Nationwide, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports opioids such as OxyContin and Vicodin were involved in more than 33,000 overdose deaths in 2015.
Shakeel and Lyn Kahn said on a financial statement they had no income for the past year, but evidence shows they took in about $400,000 during that time.
U.S. District Court Judge Scott Skavdahl told the Kahns they needed to be detained because there was no guarantee that they would not flee or not pose a danger to the community.
