Now that they got him locked up, they need to go after whoever he hit the drugs from. I say 6-13 years isn’t much for doing drugs and killing somebody and almost killing yourself

I may have an unpopular opinion for 6-12 years seems insanely harsh considering they both were out seeking the substance ... he brought it and gave her the stuff that unknowingly and non maliciousky caused her to die because he also consumed it snd died (almost) himself.
