Murder or Manslaughter? When Drug Dealing Leads to Death | TCF Sidebar

Episode 17

A recent case saw a drug addict who also sold drugs convicted of second-degree murder after a buyer overdosed. But was that the right charge? Should manslaughter have been a better fit, or does selling a deadly substance make a murder label appropriate?

In this Sidebar discussion, we explore how the law handles overdose deaths, whether the victim’s choices matter in determining guilt, and how far accountability should go when addiction and distribution collide.
