The U.S. Supreme Court won’t review the case of an Arkansas doctor sentenced to life in prison for orchestrating a bombing that severely injured the then-chairman of the Arkansas State Medical Board.
The one-sentence denial was filed Wednesday in the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of Randeep Mann.
Mann was convicted of conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction and other charges after the February 2009 bombing of Dr. Trent Pierce outside his West Memphis home. At the time of the bombing, Pierce led the medical board, which had twice revoked Mann’s license to prescribe narcotics after he was accused of over prescribing pain medications that led to some patient deaths.
Mann asked the high court in June to consider his case. He has maintained his innocence since his arrest.
