State v. Shell
A number of jursidctions are changing their homicide statutes in order to punish as murderers those who provide drugs to another leading to the other's death. The Colorado legislature considered but rejected such a law in 2023. In the absence of such a law, when should one who provides drugs to another be responsible for the overdose death of the person to whom he supplied the drugs? This case considers one state's approach.
