Florida takes dramatic step to stem 'tidal wave' of fentanyl, sends dealer to prison for 30 years
2022-10-04
I KNOW OF A BETTER WAY.
[FoxNews] A grieving Florida mother celebrated a 30-year prison sentence for the man who sold her daughter a fatal dose of fentanyl in 2021 — in a case that highlights the state's zero-tolerance policy in combating the opioid crisis.

"The fentanyl coming into our country is a tidal wave," Jacksonville State Attorney Melissa Nelson told Fox News Digital of the drug that can be 50 times more potent than heroin. "This is our opportunity to incapacitate dealers who are killing people."

#4  That's why the sentence should be death. Death for the smugglers, dealers, maker's and so on. Public death. Hang them in front of city hall or let them waste away in plexiglass jars in the Texas sun.

#3  That type of sentencing didn't stop the sales of crack.

Good initial move.

Given the growing number of FENTANYL deaths.
Maybe a minimum charge should be Attempted Murder 20+ years without parole. With the option to ingest a lethal dose of the killing drug sold instead of serving the time.
