My mother was basically used as a scapegoat for a thief that had ripped off a sweepstakes business in NC. She treated this young man like a son. Well they had him wired and he used her to get out of his charges. Mind you she’s 61 years old and has been on medication for 20 years. She GAVE him (not sold him) 4 of her pain medications for his mother (which was a violation of her pain management agreement with her physician). At any rate, we’ve just been told that she will be offered a plea bargain of 18 months probation rather than face jail time and she can plead “no contest”. My understanding is that “no contest” isn’t necessarily an admittance of guilt. Now that being said and if she agrees to accept this, what rights does she now have to get her medication restored and for the DEA not to continue to flag her Medicare. She’s been on her meds for over 20 years and is seriously disabled and suffers from debilitating pain. I may not be on the right site, but I’m certainly looking for feedback, advice or even a kick in the right direction. Can anyone help me?
Very truly yours,
S. Renee Lee
