Miami-Dade healthcare manager found not guilty at Medicare fraud trial
Briefly

Kenia Valle Boza was recently acquitted of conspiracy and major fraud charges after being accused of Medicare fraud involving $12 million. Her case stood out due to the rarity of defense wins in South Florida's healthcare fraud trials. Defense attorneys criticized the prosecution's reliance on selective coding data, claiming it misrepresented the truth. The jury's quick deliberation of only four hours reflected their swift rejection of the case's merit, culminating in Judge Kathleen Williams dismissing further charges against her. This case raises questions about prosecutorial practices in the healthcare sector.
This is not how you prosecute someone in the United States of America. It's offensive. That's what this is. And it permeates this entire case.
It was a rare trial victory for the defense because federal prosecutors almost always win such cases in South Florida, long recognized as the nation's capital of healthcare fraud.
