Gosnell pleads not guilty to pill mill charges
Kermit Gosnell, the West Philadelphia doctor charged with murder for operations at his West Philadelphia abortion clinic, has pleaded not guilty to separate charges of running a pill mill.
Awaiting trial on the murder charges, Gosnell appeared in court yesterday to plead not guilty to charges that he and three employees sold prescriptions for oxycodone and the generic version of Xanax.
Three additional employees charged separately in the case are expected to testify against Gosnell.
It was the investigation of the alleged pill mill that led authorities to bring charges against Gosnell for his procedures at the abortion clinic.
