South Florida Drug Dealer Charged With Murder, Accused of Giving Fentanyl to Miami Woman

Today 58-year-old Bernard Gonzalez became the first person in Broward County to be charged with murder for selling fentanyl to a person who later overdosed.

The Broward State Attorney's Office announced this afternoon that a grand jury decided to charge Gonzalez, a Miramar resident, with first-degree murder after prosecutors say he sold fentanyl to Kelly Fitzgerald. The 31-year-old Miami resident apparently took the drugs home, ingested them in her house, and then fatally overdosed March 21. If convicted, Gonzalez could face life in prison.

Life in prison for a drug deal seems cruel and unusual, no ?

Should have a public flogging followed by being drawn and quartered.

If he sold it to her as fentanyl and she knew that's what she was buying, then yes.  If he passed it off as heroin and she OD'd by taking her usual hit, then it was murder committed by fraud and no, sounds like the right sentence.

Agreed...if she knew what she was buying his blame is minimized.
