A former Casper doctor and his brother who were convicted of multiple crimes related to distribution of prescription pain relief drugs and had his conviction reversed, will face trial again in Wyoming U.S. District Court.
Shakeel Kahn and his brother Nabeel Khan (that’s how they spell their names) are scheduled for their six-week retrial on Nov. 6, according to federal court documents.
Shakeel Kahn, a pain management physician, was arrested in late November 2016 and he and his wife were initially charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute oxycodone. More charges were added. Shakeel Kahn and Nabeel Khan were found guilty of numerous crimes in a trial in Casper in May 2019. They were sentenced in August 2019.
Shakeel received a 25-year-sentence for drug distribution resulting in death, plus a consecutive five-year sentence for possessing a firearm during a drug-trafficking crime. The Wyoming U.S. Attorney had asked for a life sentence.
Through a series of appeals, the last of which was combined with the case of another doctor, Kahn had his case overturned.
