And as to the Dallas case, are you referring to this?

http://crimeblog.dallasnews.com/2014...grandson.html/

In that case, the victim was a billionaire's grandson (these things matter in Texas) and the killer actually injected the victim with the heroine which killed him.

I think it's a little early to be forming a lynch mob. The facts will come out. These kids are probably lawyered up, so it might actually be a very long time before all of the facts are known.

No, a different one. A young girl with mental health issues got mixed up in a circle that included drug dealers and strippers, and was injected with a potent strand of heroin that killed her. The story was way more complicated than that, but the dealer and I think the strippers were charged with a bunch of different counts related to distribution and her death.

Her parents are pushing for Texas law to change. There currently is no "good Samaritan" law where one can call 911 to report an OD with no consequences. They believe such a law might have saved their daughter's life, and it seems like from what we know about the Sigma Nu situation that it might have saved the life there, too.

Yes, there is that case - but bizarrely the T. Boone Pickens grandson case ended up with a plea deal/settlement that the roommate allegedly injected him with the lethal heroin overdose so he could steal his ATM card because the victim "was not a drug dealer". The alleged murderer only served four months in jail as part of the plea deal. (And strangely this all managed to barely merit a blip here on the local radar... I live less than five minutes from the site of the incident.)

Because billionaire heirs die and their murderers only serve four months? Uh huh....

I read this morning on KBTX website that the police found cash, drugs, and drug sale records in their search of the Sigma Nu house.
