Courthouse News Service: "Based upon the sworn trial testimony of Ferguson, who had previously referred to himself as 'Dr. Ferguson' but whom we now know barely obtained a bachelor's degree after twenty-five years of college, Uselton was convicted of two counts of involuntary manslaughter and three counts of selling alprazolam. "Uselton was sentenced to two consecutive five-year prison terms for the involuntary manslaughter, in addition to a nine-month sentence for the sale of alprazolam, for a total of 10 years, 9 months. On January 7, 2011, outgoing Ohio Governor Strickland granted Uselton's Petition for Commutation of Sentence, reducing his sentence to '8 years to 10.75 years.' Uselton was later judicially released from prison in July, 2011, after having served more than eight (8) years of his sentence. "In late-October, 2010 Uselton first learned that Ferguson had been convicted of falsifying his credentials, of giving perjurious testimony involving his credentials, and was not qualified to render the opinions which he gave leading to Uselton's conviction (and the convictions of others as well). Neither Ferguson nor Franklin County ever produced or provided the underlying test results for the purported analysis which Ferguson claimed he had done, upon which Uselton was convicted."
