To The Daily Sun,
I applaud judge James O'Neill's sentence in (the case of Brian Watson, sentenced Tuesday for selling the drug fentanyl to a man who later died from an overdose). As the mother of Ray Delucca who overdosed in 2007, I don't understand why selling drugs is an okay thing to do in order for a person to pay his bills. Just the possibility of someone losing their life should be a deterrent to taking this action.
The person who sold my son the drugs that killed him was supposedly doing it for this same reason. Yes, my son made the decision to take those drugs and he paid the ultimate price for that. The seller made the choice to sell them and he did it fully knowing the possible consequences (who doesn't?) so he needs to pay the price for his actions.
Thank you Judge O'Neill for making this point with your sentence.
Gail Delucca
