OWTH guitarist charged with murder

2017-09-01 by truly the taylor swift of the underage viagra demographic | 33 Comments
Zack Gontard, guitarist of Minneapolis punk band Off With Their Heads, is being charged with third-degree murder after prosecutors allege he sold heroin that killed a 23-year-old in St. Louis Park, Minnesota back in May. Gontard made his first court appearance back on August 23rd, where bail was set at $50,000.

Further investigation of the crime scene turned up a series of contacts between Gontard and the victim, and surveillance footage of Gontard meeting with someone purchasing what appears to be heroin back on May 19th, and the victim shortly after, according to KSTP-TV. Gontard's next court appearance is scheduled for September 11th.

'why is it murder and not manslaughter? seems like this is a potential fuck up'

It's a good point, but it's probably because he sold them heroin. Anyone selling heroin can get up to 20+ years and fined up to $500,000 in Minnesota apparently, so if he did actually do it he's not going to get out of this either way.

"3rd degree murder is AKA 'voluntary manslaughter'"

I mean it varies by state so not sure this is true you'd have to look at Minnesota's own penal code.

idk man, grey area
obviously heroin is an illegal drug but if he didn't sell it with the intent to kill her I don't see how it's manslaughter. You wouldn't charge a doctor with murder because he prescribed sleeping pills and a patient OD'd on them. I mean maybe you would but that's silly.
Your body is your responsibility

Conversely, the purity of illicit heroin is suspect. Hard to know what exactly to dose when there are so many potential additives.

I guess my thought is, unless the heroin was cut with a substance like fentanyl and the guy was aware of it, you can't lay that at his door. Sure, distribution and possession. But hardly a murder.

Normally I wouldn't agree with this a situation like this being murder, but yeah looks like the overdose was caused by the fentanyl too so definitley culpability there.
