KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jennifer Stephens, a Blue Springs Middle School teacher, died at age 29 from cancer.

"And Robert Courtney was her pharmacist,” Stephens’ niece, Jodi Turner, said.

The two were born 10 years apart. Turner was 18 at the time of her aunt’s death, but says they were each others best friend.

Turner and countless others are outraged that former Robert Courtney, a former pharmacist in the Kansas City who diluted cancer drugs he sold to increase profits, will be released early from prison Thursday after serving only 23 years of a 30-year sentence.

Courtney pleaded guilty in federal court in 2020 to 20 counts of tampering with consumer products and adulterating and misbranding drugs.
