First Fentanyl Homicide Conviction in South Carolina | Charleston News
Description
South Carolina just handed down its first-ever conviction for fentanyl-induced homicide, sentencing 46-year-old dealer Bradford Jovanelly to 30 years — the maximum under a new state law designed to hold drug sellers accountable for fatal overdoses. The case, sparked by a woman’s death traced to his drugs via cell records, marks a bold legal precedent as prosecutors aim to curb the fentanyl crisis by sending a clear message: dealers will face serious consequences. Jovanelly, who admitted guilt, won’t be eligible for parole — a stark warning to others in the epidemic’s shadow.
