Alexandra’s Law would require courts to warn convicted fentanyl dealers that if they reoffend and someone dies, they could be charged with murder.
Families of victims killed by fentanyl poisoning, turned away repeatedly by state legislative committees, launched an effort Tuesday, June 6, to take their bid to tighten drug laws directly to the voters.
The court warning could be used by prosecutors to show that dealers selling fentanyl-tainted drugs are aware of the potential deadly consequences. Victims often do not know the drugs they are buying are boosted with fentanyl. At a Sacramento news conference Tuesday, her father, Matt Capelouto, said that it’s time to let the voters decide how to combat the tens of thousands of deaths each year attributed to the synthetic opioid, which is 100 times stronger than morphine and 50 times stronger than heroin.
Capelouto’s daughter was found in bed slumped over her makeup mirror after taking what she thought was Percocet. “This is an opportunity to let the voters decide, once and for all … this no-brainer, common-sense solution,” Dixon said.
