DETERS: CHARGE HEROIN DEALERS WITH MURDER IN OD CASES
SHARONVILLE - Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters revealed Wednesday
that he and Ohio Attorney General are working together on a bill that
would allow murder charges against drug dealers who sold lethal doses
of heroin.
Deters made that announcement in front of a town hall-style heroin
summit called by DeWine as the number of heroin deaths seemed to be
spiraling out of control.
It was the 12th in a series of community forums DeWine is holding
across the state to come up with a plan of attack for the growing
heroin epidemic.
"I think it would be a very good deterrent in our community," Deters
said of a proposal that would make it easier to hold dealers
accountable for fatal overdoses.
