Orange County DA Criticizes Decision to Release Serial Felon With COVID to Home Confinement
Orange CountyDistrict Attorney Todd Spitzer has criticized a decision by a Superior Court judge to release a Beverly Hills surgeon charged with 88 felonies from the county jail due to complications from COVID-19, allowing him to await trial under house arrest in Brentwood.
Dr. Randy Rosen, 57, has been charged with hiring body brokers to pay patients at sober-living facilities to undergo unnecessary surgeries and medical procedures, amassing a $29 million fortune by billing insurance companies for the treatments through his Beverly Hills clinic.
Rosen pleaded not guilty to all 88 felony counts, including multiple charges of fraud and money laundering, on July 2, and his bail was set at $10 million. But on Dec. 17, Superior Court Judge Sheila Hanson released Rosen, who had contracted COVID-19, so he could be placed on GPS electronic monitoring and sent home.
