Jasna Mrdjen's next court appearance is at 1:30 p.m. Dec. 27; she faces 13 felony counts, including an involuntary manslaughter charge, alleging she sold controlled substances to patients involved in illegal drug diversion and resale.
Dr. Jasna Mrdjen, 69, of Mountain View, was arrested in May for allegedly running a "pill mill" operation out of a small clinic at 14125 Capri Drive in Los Gatos.
She appeared before Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Philip H. Pennypacker Nov. 15.
She's alleged to have conspired to sell controlled substances by excessively prescribing narcotics (Oxycodone) to patients involved in illegal diversion and resale, said Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney Dana Veazey.
