Mission doctor convicted of misdiagnosing thousands of patients seeking to have sentence vacated
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Jorge Zamora-Quezada, a rheumatologist from Mission, TX, convicted for misdiagnosing thousands of patients in a $240 million healthcare fraud scheme, is seeking to vacate his sentence. After serving one year of a ten-year sentence, he filed a motion on July 1, arguing that new medical evidence contradicts the prosecution's claims. He asserts that the government used outdated diagnostic criteria and that the Texas Medical Board cleared him of wrongdoing. Zamora-Quezada, whose co-defendants were acquitted or had their cases dismissed, is requesting a new trial if his conviction is not overturned. Prosecutors have 45 days to respond.
