Tragic Grace Handling, 13, died after taking ecstacy at a party in 2018.
The grieving dad of a teenager who died after taking ecstasy has called for a law targeting killer drug dealers.
Stewart, of Irvine, Ayrshire, said Callum Owens was charged with culpable homicide which allows juries wriggle room to deliver a not proven or not guilty verdict. Stewart said the recent case of two men being cleared of killing new mum Rebecca Tollan, 23, by supplying her with cocaine highlighted the flaws with the culpable homicide charge.
“The culpable homicide charge isn’t achievable in many cases involving Class A drugs because the loophole with it is you didn’t intend to cause death.“Why can’t we implement a law where if you supply Class A drugs to someone and they die, you are charged with supplying with lethal consequences?“If they are dealing, profit financially and someone dies there should be a charge that reflects this with a maximum sentence of 10 years.
