He sold drugs. If he's going to serve time for something, it shouldn't be someone's death.

He is going to jail for heroin distribution. That's what he's going to jail for.

Not if you look at his record and see he was already on probation (two separate events) before this last one.

It's a BS trumped up charge.
If they want to go after the kid for giving the deceased drugs, then treat him like every other low level drug possessor. It's a stretch and a half to claim he was "distributing", especially considering the article clearly states:
Nothing in the story even leads me to believe the guy bought the heroin. Nothing in the story leads me to believe the guy sold, or "distributed", heroin to anyone else.
Then you don't know the definition of distribute. We will have to agree to disagree. I'm happy the guy is in jail. You wish he weren't. You're entitled to your opinion. I'm just happy there is nothing you can do about it.
Addicts / drug users don't typically use alone, they share. This is why when there is a vehicle stop or house raided, all the parties therein are charged with illegal possession of CDS and paraphernalia.
This is basically a new way to sentence and addict to prison, this guy is going to do time in what we like to call an ass pounding federal penitentiary.
To make room for the addict the feds will probably have to release a real criminal.

He will be going to a minimum security facility and nobody will be released to make room. It's nice to get all hyped up, but your facts are just not correct.
Or for that matter a government who still allows cigarettes to be sold after supposedly being so deadly.

I think the sentence is fair, I also hope it may serve as a deterrent for anyone who may be "persuaded" to give a friend, colleague, etc. any drugs. Too many young people dying from heroin addiction and it doesn't seem to be slowing down.
If they sell to a person who is drunk ,yes !Better question is what about bars and restaurants they are held to a different standard ,if a patron is drunk and they let him leave they or the bartender could be held responsible .
And every law is gospel.
Somd.com isn't a courtroom. The person to blame is the person that administered the drug; the user.
the same with suing weapons manufactures ..... Colt is no more responsible for mass murder than Ford is for a drunk driver
Would he have done it had the illegal drug not been there ?Who knows but he was an accomplice so he must pay the price.
He's an addict, addicts/alcoholics don't think beyond their next fix. He'll come out of jail an addict, he'll be clean, but his brain will still be that of an addict, it's more than drugs or alcohol, people use prescription pain killers and alcohol all the time and don't get hooked. But there are others who do, there are underlying psychological issues that and instead of seeking treatment for those, they end up self medicating.
If he's going to jail for distribution, and he's a repeat offender, he's not going to a minimum security federal facility.

What do you think should happen to a person who has multiple offenses for distributing drugs?
