Defense attorneys for a doctor and state lawmaker from Nixa have filed a motion to dismiss federal charges against her.
Dr. Patricia Derges is charged with lying about stem cell treatements at her health clinic and illegally providing prescription drugs.
Her defense attorney says a U.S. Attorney, who’s a witness in the case, directed a Medicaid Fraud Investigator targeting Derges.
State lawmakers have asked Derges to resign, but she says she’s innocent.
KY3 reports her case has been postponed until next June.
