Texas bill would classify fentanyl overdoses as poisonings, allowing murder charges for dealers
FORT WORTH, Texas - The Texas Senate unanimously passed a bill to classify fentanyl overdoses as poisonings.
It would allow prosecutors to charge people who make, sell, and deliver deadly drugs with murder. Charges for distribution of non-lethal fentanyl would also be upgraded.
In 2023, we are hearing more about North Texas students overdosing on fentanyl-laced pills.

Any defense lawyer worth his/her salt would have it tossed out based on the lack of evidence on intent.
If they are going to charge them with murder, might as well charge the NRA and gun manufacturers with murder. Fair's fair.
