After judge threatens hearing over grand jury misconduct, feds drop charges in case tied to Loretto exec
Federal prosecutors dropped charges against two co-defendants in an $800 million fraud case tied to Loretto Hospital's former CFO after a judge threatened a hearing over alleged grand jury misconduct. The move follows similar dismissals in the 'Broadview Six' case and raises concerns about the credibility of the U.S. Attorney's office.
