Show Notes
A federal jury has ordered Ed Buck to pay $2 million to the mother of Gemmel Moore, who died from a drug overdose in Bucks apartment. Buck, already serving a 30-year sentence for related crimes, lost the wrongful death lawsuit. The jury heard evidence of Bucks pattern of luring men to his condo, injecting them with methamphetamine, and assaulting them. Moores mother sued for wrongful death and other claims, seeking justice for her son. The case exposed Bucks use of hookup sites to find victims. Another man, Dane Brown, survived a near-fatal overdose and passed away last November, with his family also suing. The civil ruling adds to Bucks penalties, but the focus now shifts to enforcing the award while other lawsuits continue.
