A Maryland man was sentenced to more than nine years in prison for his role in a fatal drug overdose, in what prosecutors say is an effort to hold dealers accountable for the effects of their products. Three people were indicted on charges of distributing morphine and methadone after 29-year-old Brandon Sgaggero died in a morphine and methadone overdose in March 2008.
The first of them to plead guilty, 26-year-old Luis Reyes-Torres, of Hagerstown, was sentenced Friday to nine years and seven months in prison.
