“Dr. Ali Shaygan has nothing to do with Colombian drug trafficking conspiracies, but his case is yet another example of Hoffman’s prosecutorial overreach. Shaygan was charged with overprescribing narcotics as part of the federal government’s campaign against prescription drug abuse, but later acquitted. After his acquittal, Shaygan won a $600,000 judgment, with the judge in the case finding the prosecutors’ conduct in attempting to influence witnesses and deny potentially exculpatory evidence to the defense so ‘profoundly disturbing that it raises troubling issues about the integrity of those who wield enormous power over the people they prosecute.'”
