She pled guilty to one count of conspiring to dispense and distribute controlled substances in July 2009 and was sentenced to three months probation.

it was uncovered she was also selling to a group of people who then sold OxyContin throughout Mississippi. Seventeen of those people were arrested and sent to prison for selling the drugs given to them by Cleggett

Now why would she be sentenced to probation if the judge thought she was fully culpable but the "patients" she sold to and who dealt on the street actually got prison time?

Was the judge overly sympathetic to Dr.'s car accident? BS. In the doc DEA lady says they didn't have enough for a conviction. Only circumstantial. And 20 years later Cleggett only says she pled guilty because she was too sick to go to trial and just wanted it over with. She still denies any wrong doing.

I'm not saying she's innocent, she's a quasi drug dealer but to act like the "patients" are victims is BS when they are the ones pushing to kids like M and Saint.
