First Fentanyl Murder Sentencing in California
15 years to life is the sentence handed down yesterday by a Placer County judge in a case that made history in California. A 22-year-old man is headed to state prison on second-degree murder charges after he was found responsible for the death of a Roseville girl who died from a fentanyl overdose. On Insight, we revisit a conversation with Placer County District Attorney Morgan Gire who walks us through how the evidence in the case led him and his team to file murder charges against the suspect and how this case has now set a precedent for fentanyl cases in California.

McKinnie, an independent curator and gallerist, opened a new location just a few weeks ago. We’ll speak to McKinnie about what Sacramento needs to bring back its’ one-vibrant arts scene and how she hopes to inspire others through her gallery.
