A state appeals court has tossed out eight of 10 convictions for a Suffolk County pharmacist sentenced to prison in 2016 for taking part in a scheme to sell black-market prescription drugs used for treating HIV to patients.   

A four-judge panel from the Brooklyn-based Appellate Division, Second Department on Wednesday said that the state Attorney General’s Office failed to present sufficient evidence to convict pharmacist Ira Gross with first-degree grand larceny, first-degree criminal diversion of prescription medication, three counts of first-degree money laundering and related charges.
