Notorious South Florida Pill Mill Kingpin fights for conviction

Notorious South Florida Pill Mill Kingpin fights for conviction

Jeff George, once the face of Florida's most notorious pain clinics, is looking for relief for the conviction in the hope of shortening his judgment.

A COUPLE. Todd in order, Chris, thank you. The man was once the face of South Florida's largest legal pills mill, who is back in Palm Beach County this evening. Still behind bars, but hoping to find a way out. Jeff George, together with his twin brother Chris, directed the most profitable Eagle Pain Clinics in the country, and hopes to prove that he deserves a second chance to reduce his prison sentence. Our investigative reporter, Terri Parker, reports on George Brothers since she broke the history of Palm Beach County Pain Clinics in 2010. She has an exclusive update tonight. Terri. Can you believe it This story continues. Now Jeff George is back in the city. He is in the prison of Palm Beach County, from where he was in North Florida. But he is the one who collapsed in millions when he and his brother led these super large pain clinics, and people from all over the country would travel here to get addictive oxycodon pills. Now he is facing a hearing and hopes that he can lead to a reduced sentence. Jeff George served two sentences. A 15 -year penalty for conspiracy to inspect extortion. In 2015 he also announced himself guilty, before the state of second degree Murder because of the death of a patient who overdosed. For this he got a 20 -year prison sentence. George and his brother let millions of pain clinics run until the Feds closed them and sent them and their doctors to prison. Here I stand Jeff before he was broken. Do you also tell me connected to this clinic? I can't comment, but we can speak later. And here I interviewed Chris in May. Shortly after he served his 14 -year prison sentence. I went to prison because of the pain clinics. You know, I have made it guilty of a debt conspiracy. In the end I was for 11 years and was 29 years old when I went in and 40 when I got out. His identical twin, Jeff, could now also be out if there were no murder penalty for this 20 -year. George submitted applications in which he argued that his lawyer was ineffective because George claimed that he did not advise him that the factual basis was not sufficient in his case to support a guilty plea, and the state could not prove this. These efforts failed. Now he argues for the so -called relief after the conviction, a last ditch after the court of appeal has rejected it. The state argues, although it is too late for the two -year window to have this argument after the conviction. But George countered in a federal prison that did not give the occupants access to state legal information, so that he could not research and meet the two -year border. And now a judge will decide whether this is true. Judge will hold a hearing. He will hear evidence as to whether George has access to these legal documents or not, and whether this means that the deadline for submitting this type of cases can be extended. This hearing is set for the end of the next month. We will be there and follow further

The man, who is once in the center of South Florida's largest operation in the pill mill, is back in Palm Beach County. He is still behind bars, but hopes for a way out.

Jeff George, who, together with his twin brother Chris, organized the most profitable pain clinics in the country to reduce his 20-year-old state prison sentence for a second degree in the death of a patient.

George, who also serves a 15-year penalty for conspiracy to commit blackmail, argues that he cannot submit the legal deadline for submitting the relief after the conviction due to limited access to state legal materials in the federal prison. The state claims that its calling is too late.

The investigative reporter Terri Parker, who for the first time in 2010 the Pill Mill Empire Story by George Brothers' Palm Beach County Brach, had had confrontations with George and recently an interview with his twin, Chris, who was released after an imprisonment of 11 years.

A judge from Palm Beach County will hold a hearing of evidence next month to determine whether George's legal challenge can progress.
