County attorney opposes delaying trial for Montana doctor charged with 400 felonies
HAMILTON – The Ravalli County attorney’s office is not interested in giving Dr. Chris Christensen a second continuance on his trial for 400 felonies, including negligent homicide.
Christensen recently asked for a six-month stay in his case, a year’s delay in the trial, return of cash and other items seized from his office and relief from his $200,000 bond.
Deputy County Attorney Thorin Geist’s response to Christensen’s motion last week could be summarized in a word – no.
Christensen was arrested in August 2015 for allegedly providing hundreds of illegal prescriptions to his patients, including two who died from an overdose.
