Dismantling DEA Fraud: Reynolds Cross-Examines Dr. TIMOTHY E. King, MD

The provided text centers on Coley O. Reynolds, a Philadelphia criminal defense attorney, and his cross-examination of Dr. Timothy King, a controversial expert witness for the DOJ and DEA.

Reynolds’s courtroom strategy is favorably compared to Clarence Darrow’s tactics in the Scopes Trial, highlighting his success in dismantling Dr. King’s purportedly unscientific methodology for detecting opioid fraud.

The sources also explain the hierarchy of evidence, positioning Dr. King’s unvalidated system at the lowest level, and underscore the damaging consequences of his testimony on medical professionals.

The narrative frames Reynolds’s actions as a stand against flawed expert testimony and an AI-driven justice system, echoing Darrow’s fight against dogma.

the self-crowned oracle of pain medicine

Well, well, step up to the most incredible show in Philadelphia’s federal courtroom. Dr. Timothy King, the self-crowned oracle of pain medicine, took the stand to dazzle us all with his unblemished perfection.

Under oath, with the swagger of a man who’s never published a single pain medicine article in any peer-reviewed journal, Dr. King boasted to the jury that he’s never made a mistake, and why would he, when he skipped that tedious pain fellowship nonsense?

Instead, Dr. King conjured his “red zone system,” a bespoke little ditty he’s peddled across U.S. courts to smear doctors with the finesse of a toddler wielding a Sharpie.

And watching this charlatan’s unraveling from the pews?

Six actual physicians, real ones, with stethoscopes and consciences, were there to witness Coley O. Reynolds, Esq., fillet Dr. King like a fish on a Friday night.

In the annals of American legal history, few courtroom battles have captured the public imagination, like the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial, where Clarence Darrow, a defense titan, dismantled William Jennings Bryan’s rigid dogma with a surgical cross-examination. Nearly a century later, in the sterile federal courtrooms of Philadelphia, another defense attorney, Coley O. Reynolds, Esq., channeled Darrow’s spirit in a modern clash of intellect and medicine. 

His target, Dr. Timothy King, a self-styled pain medicine “expert” whose unscientific testimony has condemned countless doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals to ruin. The parallels between Darrow’s legendary performance and Reynolds’ relentless dismantling of King are striking as both men wielded reason as a blade, cutting through sanctimony and exposing the fragility of their adversaries’ claims.

Picture the scene, a federal courtroom in Philadelphia, its air thick with tension. On one side stands a physician, a healer accused of overprescribing opioids, facing a sentence that could bury him for 780 years of life.

His crime?

Compassion for patients wracked by chronic pain. On the other, Dr. Timothy King, a government witness cloaked in the veneer of expertise, armed with his proprietary “Forensic System and Method for Detecting Fraud, Abuse, and Diversion in the Prescriptive Use of Controlled Substances.”

_________________________________________________________/

1.Witnesses further reported that the Government Prosecutor, Bodapati, had first attempted to end King’s cross and/or shorten Coley Reynolds’s, along with the five other defense Attorneys’, opportunities for cross-examination of “The Rat King.” 

2. Bodapati stated that he (Dr. Tim King) had been scheduled to fly out of town that afternoon to testify in another important government persecution elsewhere. The Federal Judge wasn’t buying it and ordered Bodapati to sit down.

3. Witnesses also reported after a lengthy bench discussion of approximately 40 minutes to an *hour in which everyone, including the jury, was ordered out of the courtroom except for defense counsel, prosecution, and clerks. When folks were let back in later, The Judge appeared to be scolding the prosecution team while wagging his finger at them, threatening to continue the trial over the weekend and predicting that they would lose two or three jurors if they had to go down that route all as a result of the incompetence of the prosecution team.)

4. THE JUDGE KICKED HIS DOG!!

5. The Judge then stormed out of the courtroom and kicked and slammed the door on his way to his chambers, leaving the jury, the defense lawyers, and the courtroom observers stunned and wondering what had just happened. The court was abruptly dismissed and is scheduled to start again on Monday, March 24, 2025, at 8:30 a.m.

TURNING KING’S FORENSIC SYSTEM METHOD OF DETECTING FRAUD, ABUSE AND OPIOID DIVERSION INTO INTELLECTUAL RUBBLE

This untested and unvalidated AI-driven tool has become the prosecution’s cudgel, reducing complex medical decisions to arbitrary symbols like ticks, crosses, and circles while ignoring the subjective agony of human suffering.

Enter Coley O. Reynolds, a Philadelphia criminal defense attorney with over 24 years of experience. His prosecutorial past sharpened his instincts for the fight. Like Darrow, who volunteered to defend John Scopes against Tennessee’s anti-evolution law, Reynolds stepped into this fray to unmask Dr. King’s pseudoscience and save a doctor from a system rigged for conviction.

Dr. Timothy King cuts a chilling figure. Once a physician, he now profits handsomely, $95,000 for analyzing just 14 patient files, by testifying for the Department of Justice and DEA. His forensic system, a labyrinth of flawed algorithms and subjective assumptions, claims to detect “red flags” in prescribing practices.

Yet, it’s a house of cards: never peer-reviewed, never validated, reliant on registered nurses unqualified to interpret medical nuance. Dr. King’s testimony bends reality, misquoting CDC guidelines and setting arbitrary morphine thresholds that defy FDA standards. His patent application brags of proving guilt “beyond a reasonable doubt” yet admits pain’s subjectivity, a contradiction that screams bias.

Dr. King’s betrayal of the medical profession echoes Judas Iscariot’s trading ethics for silver. Dr. King’s work has left a trail of devastation: families broken, practices shuttered, and patients abandoned. In Wisconsin, Dr. Charles Szyman, acquitted after King’s testimony branded him a criminal, took his own life months later, his spirit crushed.

Across America, doctors now hesitate to treat pain, fearing Dr. King’s shadow. Like Bryan, who clung to biblical literalism to suppress science, Dr. King wields his untested artificial intelligence tools to stifle medical compassion, profiting while others perish.

In 1925, Clarence Darrow turned the Scopes Trial on its head by calling Bryan to the stand, exposing the cracks in his fundamentalist armor. Under a sweltering Tennessee sun, Darrow pressed Bryan on scripture’s absurdities, Jonah in the whale, six-day creation, until Bryan faltered, admitting uncertainty. The crowd roared as Darrow painted him a fool, not with venom, but with relentless logic.

Fast-forward to Philadelphia, where Coley O. Reynolds faced Dr. Timothy King. With the same precision Darrow wielded, Reynolds attacked King’s forensic system. “Dr. King,” he began, his voice steady, “Have you ever made a charting mistake?”

Dr. King hesitated, offering vague deflections, but finally stated, ” No, he never makes a mistake.”

Reynolds pressed harder: “Your system flags prescriptions above a morphine threshold in a red zone; where’s that standard in CDC or FDA guidelines?”

King stumbled, citing misquoted fragments, only for Reynolds to have Dr. King admit that he made up his green zone, yellow zone, and red zone system, revealing the lie.

Like Darrow, Reynolds turned the witness into the accused. “You earned $95,000 for 14 files—doesn’t that tie your testimony to the DOJ’s asset forfeiture haul?”

Dr. King’s composure cracked, his financial incentives laid bare. Reynolds hammered the human cost.  Dr. Szyman is now dead, his practice gone—how does Dr. King sleep knowing his words did that? 

Dr. King’s responses grew thin, his “expertise” unraveling as Reynolds stripped away the facade, symbol by symbol, exposing a profiteer masquerading as a scientist.

The parallels are uncanny. Darrow faced a man whose rigid beliefs threatened intellectual freedom; Reynolds battled a figure whose greed-fueled pseudoscience endangered lives. Both used cross-examination not just to defend their clients but to challenge a broader injustice: Darrow against religious dogma, Reynolds against an increasing artificial intelligence (AI) justice system complicit in Dr. King’s destruction of the medical community.

Where Darrow’s questions left Bryan a diminished relic, Reynolds’ barrage painted King as a modern Judas, his earned millions stained with the suffering of families suffering in daily chronic pain. 

In the Scopes Trial, the guilty verdict was a technicality, overturned later, but Darrow’s real victory was cultural, shifting public perception. Reynolds, too, is fighting for more than acquittal, and his initial dismantling of King likely sowed doubt in the courtroom, a seed for future challenges. Both scholars of jurisprudence turned the tables, making the witness the story, their cross-examinations a theater of truth.  

King’s pièce de résistance, his “criminal forensic chronology algorithm system,” sounds like something a Bond villain would trademark, but don’t be fooled, it’s just a fancy label for a one-page commentary like the Universal Precautions he whipped up between coffee breaks.

This gem, used to dissect 14 medical charts in United States v. Anand, netted him a cool $95,000 plus $12,000 for two days of testimony. Nothing screams integrity like a government paycheck for playing judge, jury, and executioner.

While legit researchers toil over randomized controlled trials, Dr. King’s here with his homemade hieroglyphs, turning patient care into a prosecutorial piñata. Reynolds, though, wasn’t there to applaud the circus, so he brought a scalpel.

This wasn’t just a cross-examination but a masterclass in dismantling a fraud. Dr. King, who’s turned his untested patent wonder into a cottage industry of conviction, sat there as Reynolds laid bare the absurdity: a charlatan paid more for two days’ bloviating than most doctors earn in a month, all to ruin lives with an untested artificial intelligence criminal mens rea methodology that wouldn’t pass a high school science fair.

Those six physicians didn’t just witness a takedown; they saw a reckoning for a man who’d instead cash checks than face facts. Dr. King’s never-made-a-mistake bravado? A punchline now, thanks to Reynolds, who proved that even a $95,000 paycheck can’t buy credibility when your evidence is a house of cards and your red zones are drawn in crayon.

The Hierarchy of Evidence: A Crash Course in Sorting Science from Nonsense

The hierarchy of evidence is like a pecking order for research, a way to figure out what’s gold-standard truth and what’s just someone’s loud opinion. It’s a framework scientists and practitioners use to rank studies based on their reliability—basically, how much you can trust them not to be skewed by bias or bad design.

Think of it as a pyramid where the higher you climb, the stronger the evidence, and the lower you linger, the shakier it gets. It’s not about snobbery; it’s about making sure decisions, especially in fields like medicine, stand on solid ground rather than quicksand.

At the top—Level 1—you’ve got the heavy hitters: systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses of RCTs. These are the VIPs of evidence. RCTs randomly assign people to groups (say, drug vs. placebo) to cut out bias, and a systematic review rounds up all the good ones on a topic.

At the same time, a meta-analysis crunches their numbers for a big-picture verdict. They’re gold because they’re rigorous, repeatable, and less likely to be swayed by chance or wishful thinking. If you’re betting your life on a treatment, this is where you want the proof to live.

Drop to Level 2, and you’re still in RCT territory—single trials, not the aggregated champs of Level 1. They’re solid, with randomization keeping things fair, but they’re narrower, so a fluke result or small sample might muddy the waters.

Level 3 steps into observational studies: systematic reviews of cohort or case-control studies or the studies themselves. Cohort studies track groups over time (e.g., smokers vs. non-smokers), while case controls look backward (e.g., lung cancer patients vs. healthy folks). They’re helpful but riskier. Without randomization, bias can sneak in like an uninvited guest.

Level 4 is where things get scrappier: case series, case reports, descriptive studies. These are stories, not experiments—think “here’s what happened to 10 patients” or “this guy had a wild reaction.” They’re low on the totem pole because they lack control and can’t prove cause and effect, and they’re more like intriguing hints than hard facts.

Then, at Level 5, the basement, you hit expert opinion, case studies, and literature reviews. This is the Wild West—someone’s hot take, maybe dressed up with citations, but it’s not tested or systematic. It’s the weakest link, prone to bias and bravado, and it’s where charlatans love to camp out.

Enter the hierarchy of evidence, that elegant pyramid where systematic reviews of RCTs reign supreme and expert opinions—like Dr. King’s—skulk at the bottom, begging for relevance. With the dry wit of a man who’s seen too many clowns in court, Reynolds skewered King on this very point. “Dr. King, enlighten us—where does your algorithm rank? Level 1, with its peer-reviewed rigor, or perhaps Level 5, where opinions fester like damp laundry?”

Puffed up on his $107,000 haul, King likely mumbled something about his infallible genius, but Reynolds didn’t have it.

“No trials?

No validation? Just your theories scribbled on a napkin?”

The six physicians in the gallery probably had to stifle snorts as King’s “system” was exposed as a glorified hunch with a price tag.

The clinical trials medical evidence quality pyramid is not a dictator—it’s a guide. Context matters and a brilliant case report might spark a breakthrough, while a sloppy RCT can mislead.

You’ve got to appraise each study’s guts—methodology, sample size, execution—not just its rank. In evidence-based practice, like medicine, this hierarchy is king because it helps doctors pick treatments backed by data, not dogma.

So, when someone’s waving a “system” with no trials or peer review claiming it’s gospel, check the pyramid. If it’s stuck at Level 5, you’re dealing with noise, not knowledge.

The Legacy: A Call to Arms in the City of Benjamin Franklin

Clarence Darrow’s stand in Dayton didn’t end anti-evolution laws overnight, but it mocked their absurdity into retreat. Coley O. Reynolds’ clash with Dr. Timothy King may not topple the DOJ’s reliance on flawed experts and predictive artificial intelligence, but it’s a clarion call.  Dr. King’s system demands scrutiny—scientific, not prosecutorial. Courts must reject his testimony until it’s proven, not purchased. The human toll—orphaned children, suicidal doctors, untreated patients—cries for justice.

In 1925, Darrow showed that reason could pierce sanctimony. In Philadelphia, Reynolds proved it can cut through corruption. Together, their stories remind us that the right questions can change everything when truth battles betrayal. Dr. Timothy King may still haunt federal courtrooms, but with attorneys like Coley O. Reynolds wielding Darrow’s sword, his reign of destruction faces a reckoning. The Judas of modern medicine cannot hide forever.

Main Themes and Important Ideas/Facts:

1. Echoes of the Scopes Trial: The commentary heavily emphasizes the comparison between Coley O. Reynolds’ cross-examination of Dr. King and Clarence Darrow’s cross-examination of William Jennings Bryan in the Scopes Trial. Both instances are portrayed as pivotal moments where reason and logic were used to challenge dogma and expose the weaknesses in an opponent’s claims.

• “A MASTER CLASS IN DISMANTLING USDOJ-DEA FRAUD,” THE CROSS EXAMINATION OF DR. TIMOTHY KING IN UNITED STATES v. ANAND BY COLEY O. REYNOLDS’ ECHOES CLARENCE DARROW’S CAPABILITY IN THE “SCOPES TRIAL,” TURNING KING’S FORENSIC SYSTEM AND METHOD OF DETECTING FRAUD ABUSE AND OPIOID DIVERSION INTO INTELLECTUAL RUBBLE” (Title of one video)
• “Nearly a century later, in the sterile federal courtrooms of Philadelphia, another defense attorney, Coley O. Reynolds, Esq., channeled Darrow’s spirit in a modern clash of intellect and medicine. His target, Dr. Timothy King, a self-styled pain medicine ‘expert’ whose unscientific testimony has condemned countless doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals to ruin. The parallels between Darrow’s legendary performance and Reynolds’ relentless dismantling of King are striking as both men wielded reason as a blade, cutting through sanctimony and exposing the fragility of their adversaries’ claims.”

1. Dismantling Dr. King’s “Red Zone System”: A central focus is on Reynolds’ successful effort to discredit Dr. King’s proprietary “Forensic System and Method for Detecting Fraud, Abuse, and Diversion in the Prescriptive Use of Controlled Substances,” particularly his “red zone system.” The commentary highlights the system’s lack of scientific validation, peer review, and its reliance on subjective and arbitrary thresholds.

• “Under oath, with the swagger of a man who’s never published a single pain medicine article in any peer-reviewed journal, Dr. King boasted to the jury that he’s never made a mistake, and why would he, when he skipped that tedious pain fellowship nonsense? Instead, Dr. King conjured his “red zone system,” a bespoke little ditty he’s peddled across U.S. courts to smear doctors with the finesse of a toddler wielding a Sharpie.”
• “His forensic system, a labyrinth of flawed algorithms and subjective assumptions, claims to detect “red flags” in prescribing practices. Yet, it’s a house of cards: never peer-reviewed, never validated, reliant on registered nurses unqualified to interpret medical nuance.”
• “Reynolds pressed harder: “Your system flags prescriptions above a morphine threshold in a red zone, where’s that standard in CDC or FDA guidelines?” King stumbled, citing misquoted fragments, only for Reynolds to have Dr. King admit that he made up his green zone, yellow zone and red zone system, revealing the lie.”

1. Questionable Expertise and Financial Incentives: The sources raise serious concerns about Dr. King’s qualifications and the potential bias introduced by his significant financial compensation for testifying for the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

• “Once a physician, he now profits handsomely, $95,000 for analyzing just 14 patient files, by testifying for the Department of Justice and DEA.”
• “You earned $95,000 for 14 files—doesn’t that tie your testimony to the DOJ’s asset forfeiture haul?” Dr. King’s composure cracked, his financial incentives laid bare.”
• “Dr. King’s betrayal to the medical profession echoes Judas Iscariot’s, trading ethics for silver. Dr. King’s work has left a trail of devastation: families broken, practices shuttered, and patients abandoned.”

1. Human Cost of Flawed Expert Testimony: The commentary emphasizes the severe consequences of Dr. King’s testimony on medical professionals, including financial ruin, practice closures, and even suicide, as exemplified by the case of Dr. Charles Szyman. This underscores the ethical implications of relying on unvalidated expert systems.

• “His crime? Compassion for patients wracked by chronic pain.” (referring to the doctor being defended)
• “Dr. Szyman’s is now dead, his practice gone—how does Dr. King sleep knowing his words did that?”
• “Across America, doctors now hesitate to treat pain, fearing Dr. King’s shadow.”

1. The Hierarchy of Evidence: One video specifically addresses the “Hierarchy of Evidence,” explaining the different levels of scientific rigor in research, with systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) at the top and expert opinions and case studies at the bottom. This framework is used to critique Dr. King’s system, which is portrayed as lacking the robust evidence required for reliable scientific testimony.

• “The hierarchy of evidence is like a pecking order for research, a way to figure out what’s gold-standard truth and what’s just someone’s loud opinion.”
• “Enter the hierarchy of evidence, that elegant pyramid where systematic reviews of RCTs reign supreme and expert opinions—like Dr. King’s—skulk at the bottom, begging for relevance.”
• “Dr. King, enlighten us—where does your algorithm rank? Level 1, with its peer-reviewed rigor, or perhaps Level 5, where opinions fester like damp laundry?”

1. Call to Action: The commentary frames Reynolds’ cross-examination as a “clarion call” for greater scrutiny of the DOJ’s reliance on flawed experts and predictive AI in drug diversion cases. It urges courts to demand scientific validation before accepting such testimony.

• “Coley O. Reynolds’ clash with Dr. Timothy King may not topple the DOJ’s reliance on flawed experts and predictive artificial intelligence, but it’s a clarion call. Dr. King’s system demands scrutiny—scientific, not prosecutorial. Courts must reject his testimony until it’s proven, not purchased.”
• “Together, their stories remind us: when truth battles betrayal, the right questions can change everything.”

1. Profile of Coley O. Reynolds, Esq.: The “Survey Note” provides a comprehensive overview of Coley O. Reynolds’ professional background, highlighting his extensive experience in criminal law as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney. This background likely contributed to his effective cross-examination strategy.

• “Coley O. Reynolds, Esq. is a prominent criminal defense attorney based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with a robust professional background and extensive experience in the legal field.”
• “His career began with significant prosecutorial experience, serving 8 years as a prosecutor.”
• “His firm is known for its aggressive trial strategies, aiming to achieve not guilty verdicts, dismissals, and mitigated sentences through plea negotiations and sentencing hearings.”
• “He is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania, several U.S. District Courts, and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.”

Key Quotes:

• “Well, well, well, step right up to the greatest show in Philadelphia’s federal courtroom, where Dr. Timothy King, the self-crowned oracle of pain medicine, took the stand to dazzle us all with his unblemished perfection.”
• “Picture the scene, a federal courtroom in Philadelphia, its air thick with tension. On one side stands a physician, a healer accused of overprescribing opioids… On the other, Dr. Timothy King, a government witness cloaked in the veneer of expertise, armed with his proprietary ‘Forensic System and Method for Detecting Fraud, Abuse, and Diversion…'”
• “Dr. King’s betrayal to the medical profession echoes Judas Iscariot’s trading ethics for silver.”
• “Dr. King,” he began, voice steady, “Have you ever made a charting mistake?” Dr. King hesitated, offering vague deflections but finally stated that, “no he never makes a mistake.”
• “This wasn’t just a cross-examination; it was a masterclass in dismantling a fraud.”
• “Level 5 is where things get scrappier: expert opinion, case studies, and literature reviews. This is the wild west—someone’s hot take, maybe dressed up with citations, but it’s not tested or systematic. It’s the weakest link, prone to bias and bravado, and it’s where charlatans love to camp out.”

Analysis and Implications:

The cross-examination of Dr. Timothy King by Coley O. Reynolds appears to be a significant event highlighting the potential dangers of relying on unvalidated and financially incentivized expert testimony, particularly in cases involving complex medical assessments like opioid prescribing. The comparison to the Scopes Trial underscores the David-and-Goliath nature of the confrontation, with Reynolds using legal acumen and logical questioning to challenge the authority of a seemingly established expert.

The exposure of the “red zone system” as lacking scientific basis and the revelation of Dr. King’s substantial compensation raise serious questions about the reliability of his testimony and its impact on the lives and careers of medical professionals accused of opioid diversion. The human cost, as exemplified by Dr. Szyman’s tragic death, emphasizes the gravity of these issues.

The discussion of the hierarchy of evidence provides a crucial framework for evaluating the scientific merit of expert testimony.

Quiz Answer Key

1. Dr. Timothy King claimed to be an expert in pain medicine and detecting fraud, abuse, and opioid diversion. However, the text points out that he had never published a peer-reviewed article in pain medicine and did not complete a pain fellowship, raising questions about his expertise.
2. Dr. King’s “red zone system” was described as a bespoke method he used in court to identify doctors allegedly involved in fraud and abuse related to opioid prescribing. It involved arbitrary thresholds and symbols to flag prescriptions, lacking scientific validation and peer review.
3. The 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial, where Clarence Darrow cross-examined William Jennings Bryan, is the referenced event. This comparison is drawn because both Darrow and Reynolds used sharp intellect and relentless questioning to dismantle the rigid or unscientific claims of their adversaries.
4. The primary criticism of Dr. King’s system is its lack of scientific validation, peer review, and reliance on untested algorithms and subjective assumptions. It is also accused of ignoring the complexities of patient care and the subjective nature of pain.
5. The hierarchy of evidence ranks research based on its reliability, with systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials at the top and expert opinions at the bottom. Dr. King’s unvalidated system, based on his own creation without rigorous testing, allegedly falls at the lowest levels of this hierarchy.
6. The text emphasizes that Dr. King was paid significant sums of money ($95,000 for analyzing 14 patient files in one instance) by the Department of Justice and DEA for his testimony. This financial incentive raises concerns about potential bias in his findings and conclusions.
7. The text mentions devastating consequences such as families being broken, medical practices being shut down, and patients being abandoned. Specifically, it highlights the suicide of Dr. Charles Szyman after Dr. King’s testimony contributed to his prosecution and professional ruin.
8. Both Darrow and Reynolds effectively turned the witness into the accused by relentlessly questioning their logic, exposing contradictions, and highlighting potential biases or flaws in their claims. They used reason and factual inconsistencies to undermine the witnesses’ credibility in the eyes of the court.
9. Coley O. Reynolds is a criminal defense attorney with over 24 years of experience, including a background as a federal and state prosecutor. This prosecutorial experience likely provided him with valuable insights into investigative techniques and the strategies used by the prosecution, enhancing his ability to defend his clients and challenge opposing witnesses.
10. Beyond the specific case against the physician, Reynolds’ cross-examination is portrayed as a challenge to the increasing reliance on potentially flawed expert testimony and unvalidated artificial intelligence in the justice system, particularly in cases involving medical professionals.

2. Analyze the criticisms leveled against Dr. Timothy King’s “Forensic System and Method for Detecting Fraud, Abuse, and Diversion” based on the information provided in the text.

Consider the potential conflicts of interest and the impact on the medical community and patients.
4. Evaluate the significance of Coley O. Reynolds’ background as a former prosecutor in the context of his defense of the physician against the accusations supported by Dr. King’s testimony.
