Issues: (1) Whether a non-physician may be convicted of conspiring with a physician to prescribe controlled substances outside the course of professional practice under 21 U.S.C. § 841(a) without regard to the non-physician’s understanding that the physician believed their prescribing to be within the usual course of professional practice; and (2) whether a federal court must grant a motion for judgment of acquittal when, after construing the evidence in the light most favorable to the government and considering both exculpatory and inculpatory inferences, the evidence of guilt and innocence is in equipoise.
