I'm not a lawyer but seems like a manslaughter charge would've been more likely to get a conviction

Manslaughter statute does not support charges related to drug overdoses.
2nd degree homicide has a specific section that includes drug overdoses.

To play devil's advocate, wouldn't this be similar to a bartender being charged with murder if someone drove home after drinking and killed someone in a car accident?

I think this is stupid. he didn't force the kid to smoke it.

No, it said something about they were able to charge him with 2nd degree murder because the drug consumption directly led to the kids death.

Heartbreaking for all involved.

Well the laws intent was to go after people selling "hotter than normal" doses that have a tendency to cause overdoses.

A bartender selling you a drink is legal, so no. If my experience watching law n order is accurate, any felonious act that results in death can be a second degree murder charge.

If MJ was legal, you'd have one less kid dead and one less tax payer subsidized inmate sitting either on death row or in prison for life.

Or if someone sold someone a half gallon of whiskey and they died due to alcohol poisoning

Wouldn't have to worry about deaths if people were smoking cannabis, and not pesticides.
Just saying.

He sold a lethal poison to a high school student and told him it would get him high.
If St. Tammany sets an example of this dealer, maybe others will be less likely to push this stuff.

I want to agree with you but I live in a legal state and I still see spice for sale all over the place. It has more to do with drug tests than legality IMO. Until it's tested for as often as cannabis, or they stop testing for cannabis altogether, it will continue to be a problem.

And have a bunch of stoners showing up to do super-difficult government jobs? Not on my watch!
