Minnesota’s Court of Appeals reinstates a guilty verdict in a Medicaid fraud case worth about $7.2 million that a lower judge had previously thrown out. The decision revives the outcome of a jury conviction after the dismissal prompted an appeal.
All three outlets describe the case as involving a multimillion-dollar scheme tied to Medicaid. They also agree that the reinstatement reverses an earlier ruling by a Hennepin County judge. The outlets differ in emphasis: two focus on the amount as $7.2 million or roughly $7 million, while one names the defendant and frames the appellate decision as restoring the jury’s guilty verdict.
