Doubt the people that need to read this will read it.. him[brady] knowing his drug supply most likely had fentanyl due to him throw8jg up and others after using it[yes I’m aware of certain details made in the trial and in discovery] he should have never have pushed it to Mercedes….he knew he was possibly killing her. His decision costed that girl her life. U don’t come back from death…obviously no one does .
Why he went to trial instead or try8ng to plea out blows my mind. They throw the book at ppl who fight the system and in the end lose…coating tax payers money etc. He’s a moron for not trying to plea out. Justice is never served in a situation like this but this douche needs to go away and he will for quite a while. His brother having his back is understandable but he needs to stop running his mouth. You’re brother messed up badly….coated a woman her life. Her kids will never see their mom again. Douchery must run in the family.
All in all it’s just a sad story…life is full of em. No one wins here.
I’m sorry to Mercedes family…….
Costed ** damn phone.
