Richard Paey, a chronic pain patient who is serving 25 years in prison for his frequent refills of pain meds will be interviewed on Sunday’s 60 Minutes. He was charged with prescription forgery, unlawful possession of a controlled substance and drug trafficking.
Ironically, the same judicial system that prosecuted Paey is now supplying him with more pain medication than he took before his prison term.
The show airs at 7 p.m. EST on Sunday, January 29.
I don’t condone what he did–but I know there have been times I’ve been in so much pain that I understand why people break the law in order to feel better.
And what irony…..
