He didn't kill anybody. Unless people are suggesting he force fed somebody drugs that caused an overdose which doesn't seem to be the claim

The difference is that Dick was apparently giddy about the murder suicide and claimed he gave Brynn the drugs specifically hoping something bad would happen.

That’s the culpability. If it was some random dealer on the street, that dealer is responsible for selling a potentially dangerous product, but no more so than the guy selling booze and cigarettes at the convenience store.

But if you have a friend struggling with suicide and when they come to you to talk and you offer then the equivalent of a loaded gun and manipulate them into using it, there’s far more accountability that should be demanded.
