Prosecutors say Walter indirectly supplied Mac’s alleged dealer, Cameron James Pettit, with counterfeit oxycodone tablets laced with fentanyl, that ended up killing Mac in an overdose incident.
As Walter awaits his fate, prosecutors are proposing a 17 years bid plus 5 years of supervised release. At the time he committed the crime, Walter was already under a supervised release from an earlier drug-related case.
