Ed Buck, a wealthy political activist and Democratic donor, has been found guilty on charges that he injected gay men with methamphetamine in exchange for sex, leading to two deaths and other overdoses.
On Tuesday, a federal jury convicted of all nine felony counts, which could lead to a life sentence.
The verdict came exactly four years after one of the victims was found dead of an overdose in Buck’s West Hollywood apartment.
Questions for BNR community.
1. Was Ed Buck given a pass for the 1st murder because of his political donations?
2. If not for BLM activists exposing the murders, would Ed Busk been given a pass for the 2nd murder?
