Man who sold fentanyl-laced pill liable for $5.8 million in death of young female customer.

Let's be clear here: this was not a 'customer', this was a drug addict who died due to their drug addiction. If that sentence makes you feel any less sympathy for them or their family, you can go fuck yourself.

This is entirely symbolic. The guy is already in prison and would never be able to pay that.

I wonder how they "know" she tried to buy "Percocet, a prescription painkiller."
If it's true he laced something with fentanyl and sold it as Percocet, then it's absolutely murder.

fentanyl, a deadly synthetic opioid that can be lethal in a dose as small as 2 milligrams

This is absolutely not safe to handle in an illegal black market, no wonder people die so easily. I knew it was dangerous, but this shit is REALLY playing with fire.
