Description
Introduction On July 13, 2007, Dr. William Hurwitz was sentenced to 57 months in federal prison for drug-trafficking. This result was portrayed by the press as a victory for the defendant as this conviction and sentence resulted from a retrial (his original conviction was overturned by the 4th Circuit) of counts that had originally landed Hurwitz with a 25-year sentence. But while 57 months is surely better for the doctor than 25 years, it is still a troubling sentence for a doctor whom the judge acknowledged was not motivated by financial gain and who arguably did much to help both his individual patients and the cause of pain patients generally.
