Mac Miller, who sentenced a drug dealer who died of an overdose to 17.5 years in prison, sold pills

The drug dealer who indirectly delivered the deadly pills to Mac Miller in 2018 was sentenced to 17.5 years in prison. The pills contained fentanyl, an unknown to the rapper, and together with cocaine and alcohol led to Miller’s death.

The suspect, Stephen Walter, had already made a partial confession in order to reach a settlement with the judiciary. The drug trafficking charge is dropped. As a result, he expected a 17-year sentence, but the judge told him on Monday that he “did not accept” the deal.

“This penalty is too low by federal guidelines,” quotes a music magazine rolling rock Judge Otis Wright.

Wright gave Walter a chance to revoke, but after consulting his attorney, Walter declined. He agreed to increase his sentence to 17.5 years in prison.

Walter reiterated in his closing speech that he did not know that Miller died from the medication he was giving. “What I’ve done has had major consequences and I deeply regret that. “I’m not someone who wants to hurt others,” he said. “But I take responsibility for my actions.”

Another drug trafficker was sentenced to 11 years in prison in April

Another drug trafficker has already been convicted in the Mac Miller case. Cameron James Pettit was sentenced to 11 years in prison in April. Pettit was reportedly the rapper’s salesperson and Walter was Pettit’s supplier.

Miller died on September 7, 2018 at the age of 26.
