Daniel Tanner acquitted in 3-day jury trial

Nurse Practitioner Daniel D. Tanner from Concierge Medicine of Marshall County faced a recent jury trial at Marshall Superior Court III under the direction of Judge Matthew Sarber. The trial centered on three charges brought against him. These serious allegations arise from events on May 14, 2021, detailed in legal documents stemming from the case.

During the trial, it was revealed that one charge accused Dan Tanner of facilitating an unlicensed individual, David A. Tanner, to authorize medical practices without a valid license. Shockingly, Dan Tanner allegedly permitted the use of his DEA registration number for issuing a prescription for a legend drug. The severity of these accusations cannot be understated, as they point to a grave breach of medical regulations and ethical standards.

Count II of the allegations focused on a prescription issued by Daniel D. Tanner, who is a nursing practitioner by profession. This specific charge dealt with prescription drugs such as Dexamethasone, Naproxen, and Methocarbamol, raising concerns about the legitimacy of the practices at Concierge Medicine of Marshall County. Furthermore, Count III delved into incidents occurring on March 4 and May 14, 2021, where Dan Tanner apparently facilitated another troubling violation – aiding an individual in practicing nursing with a suspended or revoked license.

The legal proceedings saw the State of Indiana represented by Deputy Attorneys General Georgeanna Teipen and Kyle Sprunger, while the defendant, Daniel Tanner, was accompanied by his legal counsel, Michael Tuszynski. The courtroom drama unfolded over three days with compelling testimonies presented to the jury. Following the presentation of evidence, the jury was given instructions and commenced their deliberations, only spending a brief 45 minutes before delivering their ultimate decision.

On a tense Friday evening, the foreperson shared the jury’s verdict in a packed courtroom. The final judgment revealed that the jury had found Daniel Tanner not guilty on all three counts brought against him. He was acquitted of each serious charge, including aiding unlicensed medical practices, issuing invalid prescriptions for legend drugs, and facilitating unauthorized nursing activities. These verdicts came as a significant relief to the defendant and his legal team, as they signified a positive verdict in a case that had substantial implications for Tanner’s professional reputation and standing in the medical community.
