Hideous

I'm trying to understand why the police have charged the brother with manslaughter.

He didn't force his brother to eat the cocaine so why are they perusing manslaughter charges?

[Aurel]

Was he trying to make crack cocaine for his bro?

That is some weird sh t right there! Not sure if I can swallow that story.

That "catapillar" movie/internet hype thing is only a passing fad, folks.
A by-product of the social waste of modern society.
By trained proffesionals only.

Do not attempt to recreate this, or pass it on.

Gives a whole new meaning to crack kills! Or eat sheit and die!

Don't have involuntary manslaughter in Canada so not my specialty but:

Involuntary Manslaughter in the US requires three things:

The defendant must do an illegal act (possession or trafficking in cocaine) - even in Canada trafficking includes giving drugs to someone - they do not need to be sold
The act must be dangerous (convince someone to eat an ounce of cocaine to protect your butt - probably the weakest point of their case but sounds dangerous)
The act must cause the death of the victim

Probably easier to wrap one's head around it, if the victim is a 14 year old girl and the dealer convinces her to take drugs for the first time and she overdoses and dies - certainly partially responsible for the death. No intent to kill, so not murder, rather he commits an act by trafficking the drugs that result in the person's death.

In Canada, manslaughter and murder differ by the intent to kill in murder.

I'm glad the authorities didn't fudge this up; so many of these crimes slip through the cracks.

The police are deep into this investigation. Some officials are encompassed by it.
They could be mislead by false-positive leads.
Hope they don't blow it.

Thanks Paul

The example your provided makes sense but IMO the Police in this case are dreaming if they think they can get a conviction.

[vash]

DA is gonna bend that guy over.

[scottmandue]

I hate it when that happens!

[flatbutt]

so many man card deductions in this thread!!

Crack in the crack....

With a case with this many cracks, it may just fall through.....

[masraum]

Wow, smart fellers.

Video from inside the police car captured a conversation between the brothers, where Deangelo pleads with his younger brother to take the cocaine in his bottom and eat it to get rid of it.

"One of us gotta do it, you the only one that don't have any strikes. ...You my little brother... I'm gonna get life," Deangelo said to Wayne.

His bother complied and ate the drugs.

When officers saw the cocaine residue on the seat where Wayne sat, Deangelo told officers that his brother swallowed cocaine. Within the hour, Dwayne struggled to breathe, bled from his mouth and died.

It was in the local Charleston paper today. Once again, PPOT is ahead of the news.

BTW, there was no mention of the crack being in big bros dookey shoot. It was reported that the little bro did ask what could happen and big bro said you could die...

[redstrosekNic]

That's rough.

[widgeon13]

This says it all.

"One of us gotta do it, you the only one that don't have any strikes. ...You my little brother... I'm gonna get life,"

another suck- sesssss story brought to us by the "war on drugs "

A human life lost over 1 oz of powder that the government feels the need to protect us from
