A former drug dealer has been sentenced to 18 months in jail for manslaughter in the overdose death of 14-year-old Carson Crimeni in 2019.
The B-C Supreme Court heard that other youth posted video of the boy’s distress on social media before he died.
Justice Kathleen Ker handed the man who sold the teen an "exceedingly high" dosage a three-year sentence, with half to be spent in jail and the remaining 18 months to be served under conditional supervision in his Fraser Valley community.
Crimeni's father and grandfather say they hope the case offers lessons for other young people.
