According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, 46 people die every day in the United States due to prescription opioid overdoses.

Nabeel Kahn, 46, declined to speak.

Three other defendants in the case pleaded guilty before the trial began.

The hospital also plans to upgrade and increase surveillance cameras and improve its radio capabilities.

Before the trial, Nabeel Kahn wanted to separate his trial from his brother's, but the judge denied the request.

City Attorney John Henley said these are all misdemeanors each punishable by a fine of up to $750. There is no jail punishment.

Six former patients of obstetrician-gynecologist Dr. Paul Harnetty came forward with stories about sexual assaults.
