Re: obtaining a controlled substance by misrepresentation
(1) there is no statute of limitations on a felony in Kentucky. (2) Misrepresentation is the intentional failure to reveal facts leading others relying on those facts to take action. In this matter, it would be sufficient to prove that he did not tell the second Dr that he already had a perscription for this substance. (3) He pled guilty and unles he was coerced into it, the case is over.
