"It would be a dream for a trial lawyer to defend this case and say, 'Whose fault was this, the person who swallowed the pills, or someone down the line?'" said David Moran, associate dean at the Law School . He was referring to a case in which a Harbor Springs man is charged with second-degree murder in the fatal drug overdose of a woman last fall. The defendant allegedly admitted to supplying the victim with methadone. To get a conviction, the state would have to prove that the accused knew that death would likely result from providing the drugs.
