In Pennsylvania, the criminal offense of Drug Delivery Resulting in Death is a serious charge that carries significant penalties and consequences. The statute governing this offense is 18 Pa.C.S. § 2506, which makes it a crime to deliver, administer, or dispense any controlled substance that causes the death of another person.
Frequently these charges are filed against a co-user meaning that one person bought drugs and shared them with another user, one person died and the survivor gets charged with a very serious felony. Yikes!
In our opinion the severity of this statute in a surviving co-user scenario is just out of all proportion. This severe charge should be reserved for drug dealers who profit off drugs, not the surviving co-user. We try to develop this thought with the prosecution.
