LOGAN, Utah (AP) -- The Cache County prosecutor plans an independent review of the handling of a criminal case against a doctor accused of sexually abusing patients.
George Daines made the disclosure Friday during a closed-door meeting with 1st District Judge Gordon Low. The Herald Journal of Logan reviewed minutes of the meeting.
There are allegations that a witness at the trial of Raymond Bedell was encouraged to tailor her testimony for the prosecution.
Daines denies the allegations. In March 2007, Bedell was convicted of misdemeanor sexual battery but acquitted of felony charges.
Bedell's attorney, Stephen Sweigart, says he's been interviewed by the FBI about the case. Others in the Logan area say they've also been contacted by the FBI. The FBI won't comment.
