Ed Buck, a longtime fixture in Democrat-donor circles in the Los Angeles area, was convicted Tuesday of supplying methamphetamine doses that killed two men at his West Hollywood apartment.The jury found the 66-year-old Buck guilty on nine counts, two of which carry a sentence of 20 years, meaning he could spend the rest of his life in prison. Beyond supplying drugs that resulted in the deaths of two men, Buck was convicted of maintaining a drug den and enticing individuals to cross state lines to engage in prostitution. "It was a tremendous honor to be able to vindicate the rights of the victims in the case," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Chelsea Norell.
During the summer of 2017, Gemmel Moore, a 26-year-old male overdosed in Buck's apartment. Timothy Dean, a 55-year-old male, died in January 2019 under similar circumstances. Nine months later when a third male nearly overdosed in Buck's residence he was arrested. All three victims were reportedly black males. The trial brought public attention to the fact that Buck had a habit of preying upon down-on-their-luck men, some of them homeless and doing sex work as a last resort.Buck evidently invited the men over and would offer to pay them extra when they allowed him to inject them with meth.
