[PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Wollman and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. In prosecution for operating a pill mill, the admission of Prescription Monitoring Program data offered by the government was not not erroneous as the information in the data was corroborated by other evidence; no error in admitting testimony from the government's physician expert regarding standard of medical care and the PMP data; no error in admitting testimony from defendant Raines's co-worker and fellow nurse regarding her observations and knowledge as it was circumstantial evidence on defendant Raines's knowledge or willful blindness; any error in admitting a videotape of the pill mill's operation shot by an informant was harmless as the video was cumulative and consistent with the extensive testimony concerning daily operations at the clinic; no error in giving a willful blindness instruction; no error in rejecting defendant Raines's good faith instruction as it was not an accurate statement of the law; evidence was sufficient to support Raines's conviction for conspiracy to distribute controlled substances without an effective prescription; Raines's challenge to drug quantity calculations rejected; no error in imposing an abuse-of-trust enhancement for defendant Raines; both Raines's and King's sentences were substantively reasonable.
