Dr. Roy Shelburne Sentenced to Two Years in Prison
Lee County, Va., dentist Dr. Roy Shelburne was sentenced today to two years in prison for three felony convictions of racketeering, defrauding Medicaid, and structuring a financial transaction.
Bristol Herald Courier reporter Daniel Gilbert posted results of the sentencing late this afternoon on the TriCities.com Web site. According to Gilbert, Judge James P. Jones sentenced Dr. Shelburne to two years for each of the felony counts, to run concurrently. Dr. Shelburne was also fined $75,000, and must pay nearly $18,000 in restitution to state Medicaid.
A week ago, the judge threw out all seven of Dr. Shelburne's convictions for money laundering, based on a recent interpretation of the statue by the U. S. Supreme Court. Prior to these convictions being thrown out, the dentist was facing up to 120 years in prison and a $1.25 million fine.
