Family of late ESPN producer Maura Mandt have expressed outrage over a plea deal offered to New York psychiatrist Marianne Gillow, who illegally filled prescriptions for her patient, Mandt. Gillow admitted to illegally filling prescriptions for one of Mandt's production company staffers, unaware that the addictive pills were for Mandt, who was disqualified from taking the drug. She could have faced up to seven years in prison if convicted of recklessly engaging in conduct that created a grave risk of death to Mandt and other charges. Instead, Gillow received a conditional discharge and no jail time in exchange for her plea to two counts of criminal sale of a prescription for a controlled substance by a practitioner. Judge Jung Park also placed restrictions on what drugs Gillow can prescribe, including oxycodone and other controlled substances, and imposed a $5,000 fine.
