Pharmacist in Kansas City pleads to diluted chemotherapy drugs
Robert R. Courtney, a Kansas City pharmacist, reaches a plea deal on charges of diluting Taxol and Gemzar chemotherapy drugs. The plea, likely a straight guilty plea, addresses sentencing before Judge Ortrie Smith. Prosecutors say he diluted drugs to pocket the price difference and face possible federal charges. Courtney has been jailed since Aug. 15 with a potential 196-year maximum penalty if convicted on all counts.
