The Government charged that Dr. Connor fraudulently billed Medicare for patient treatments with Botox that was not approved for use in the United States.

The Botox packages used by Dr. Connor was labeled differently from Botox approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

U.S. Attorney Trent Shores issued the following statement following the verdict:

“The American justice system is the best in the world, in part because the ultimate verdict is determined through a fair and transparent process established by our Founding Fathers.

“The government must prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. A defendant is guaranteed the opportunity to see and hear all the witnesses against him and may, if he so chooses, present a defense. Today, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty, and we will respect that verdict.”
