Personal responsibility is not a principal used by prosecutors when pursuing crimes for those that will enter the tough prisons and can not afford the expensive lawyers, but if your a white collar criminal, prosecution always cuts the chase short due to complications. Justice is not equally applied or necessarily just.

I’d have a tough time summing it up better then you two. Agreed. Personal responsibility only comes into play when the person who is ACTUALLY responsible, in this case the woman who died, hasn’t actually died. Now they all want to blame somebody, so naturally they go after someone innocent of any crime resembling murder, and charge him with it. Its pathetic. If she hadnt died, but only overdosed, would they be charging him with ATTMEPTED murder?

This is absurd.

The only thing that I can think of is that all the details aren’t here and that someone is saying that he did persuade her into taking them. All in all though, I agree with the other comments. This is not a reason for a murder charge. Our justice system hard at work!

If he is actually found guilty, will this set precedent for sueing tobacco companies as well as the fast food industry?

If these were oxycodin or aderal prescribed medication would this even be a story?

The war on drugs is an epic fail anyway you look at it…what ever happened to personal responsibility. Did she have a gun to her head when she was snorting lines??

I have been a recovering addict for 5 years and have know the deceased for 25 yrs. No one put a gun to our head to do this. To charge this man with murder is so wrong.

the system is so messed up, the violent people who should be put away for the rest of their life are some times given second chances and let out of prison after 10-20 years.. and then there’s the people who they lock up for things like drugs, and i agree with everyone, no one puts a gun to a drug addicts head while they are using.. if this kid gets even a halfway decent lawyer he will definitely get out of the murder charge and hardly have any jail time at all, if any.. sucks to go through the BS though to even get out of it
