The Fentanyl Files: Dealing Resulting in Death: A Conversation with Chief Deputy Prosecutor Zach Craig
Today, as part of our new occasional series The Fentanyl Files, we’re going to focus specifically on the legal side of things. In order to give prosecutors an extra tool to use in this crisis, the Indiana legislature passed a law making dealing resulting in death a level 1 felony. To be blunt, that means that if you sell someone fentanyl- or another drug- and that substance causes that person’s death then you can face up to a 40 year prison term. But what does this mean in practice? How are prosecutors using this law? What sort of cases are they seeing ?To find out we went to talk to Muncie to speak with Zach Craig. Zach is the Chief Deputy Prosecutor of Delaware County and currently leads the state of Indiana in getting convictions under this statute.Send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC .See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
