Run To State Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Tina Owens said three of his friends had a hand in his death. This week, Maddison Rogers, 22, of Maineville, was indicted on charges involuntary manslaughter and corrupting another with drugs. She's accused of injecting heroin into Dylan Owens' arms. But she's the only one of the three, who according to police reports, were with Dylan the night he died, who has been charged. Tina Owens said not only did her son's friends wait hours to call for help, but she said the trio abused his lifeless body, handcuffing his wrist to a bedpost. Then it got worse. "The one boy videotaped my son and took pictures of Dylan and posted it on Facebook. These pictures got out to certain individuals that were Dylan's friends. It got out to his brother," Tina Owens said. "There were three people there, there were three people involved and they should all pay for what they did to Dylan." Link Seems I say this more and more. What the hell is wrong with people?
PurplePride92 Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Too many unknowns to have a informed opinion. Some decent points made in the comment section. Sad story all the way around and another story of the dangers of heroin and how people need to stay away from it.
Bluto Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Too many unknowns to have a informed opinion. You obviously have not listened to the advice of that philosopher & theologian Steve Martin: "Criticize things you DON'T know about, be oblong and have your knees removed" --Grandmother's song.
BigVMan23 Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Involuntary manslaughter? You inject a "friend" with drugs and they die...you just committed murder my friend, regardless of what the law might say. No arguments needed.
Jumper_Dad Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Involuntary manslaughter? You inject a "friend" with drugs and they die...you just committed murder my friend, regardless of what the law might say. No arguments needed. I would agree, even though the law may not

What if the kid who died wanted them to inject him with the heroin? It's entirely plausible that the kid who died either didn't want to inject himself or didn't know how to do it so he had the girl do it for him.

What if you didn't want to shoot yourself in the head so you asked a friend to do it?

No one just shoots somebody full of heroin for the hell of it, especially other addicts. Growing up I always found it funny because my grandmother would always tell me to not let anyone give me anything or talk me into anything. I always thought to myself if she only knew, I mean who's going to give away free dope? Just doesn't happen like that, so the kid was intending to use regardless of who shot him. The other three wouldn't waste their dope getting someone else high.
dolamite Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 What if you didn't want to shoot yourself in the head so you asked a friend to do it? Different circumstances IMO because if you're asking someone to do that then you are planning on dying or committing suicide. I doubt the kid thought the was going to die doing this, just an accident unfortunately. Fatal overdoses are becoming tragic trends.
Jumper_Dad Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 I've seen users many times try to slip something to their "Straight Friends" either in their drinks or in one case a milk shake just to watch the non user get high for the first time as a joke...so yeah they do give it away sometimes. If they are also selling they'll often give it away to begin with. Saw a guy on TV talking about how a friend slipped Meth in his coffee, he then spent the next 2 years buying all the meth the friend could get for him.
Jumper_Dad Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Taking/supplying Drugs is a crime. If someone dies during the commission of a crime that in of itself is also a crime even if it normally would not be a crime. Example: You rob a bank and the guard has a heart attack during the robbery and dies, you get charged with his death.

Saw a guy on TV talking about how a friend slipped Meth in his coffee, he then spent the next 2 years buying all the meth the friend could get for him. That's rare though. The picture the article paints seems as if the other three kids were likely users, possibly all four (including the deceased). Putting something in someone's drink is a far cry from shooting them up with something, I think they all used and were just trying to party.
dolamite Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 But there's only three people alive who actually know what happened that night, the rest of us will never know. Very tragic no matter what, but who knows what really happened.

Very tragic no matter what, but who knows what really happened. Yes it is tragic. Do you think they should be arrested in connection with his death?

Example: You rob a bank and the guard has a heart attack during the robbery and dies, you get charged with his death. So if a group of two or three people go out partying one night and one of them happens to OD the other two should get in trouble because they were partying with him that night? Even if the deceased supplied their own drugs? I get what you are saying with your post and I understand where you are coming from. But there's a lot of grey area there. I understand manslaughter and a lot of circumstances fit into that category, but when you're dealing with drugs it gets tricky IMO. Everyone should be responsible for what they put into their own bodies unless they were unjustly compromised .
