U.S. v. Motley (9th Cir. - Feb. 24, 2026)

Fifteen years in prison seems about right to me for this years-long, ten-figure Medicare fraud. Even without the additional two years that the Ninth Circuit reverses.

I would not have been sympathetic to the defendants, either as a judge or juror.

Not sympathetic at all.
