The new federal charges have revived questions about why prosecutors in Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance’s office agreed to the slap on the wrist plea deal.Hadden pleaded guilty in state court in 2016 to acts with “no valid medical purpose” on two patients, lost his medical license and served zero jail time.
