But the reason this was important to me, one of the arguments by those senators against Alexandra's law was, well, these drug dealers don't even know what they're selling. I wanted this. I wanted this confession from a 20-year-old drug dealer to be able to shove in their face and say, not in my daughter's case. Don't give me this BS that they don't know what they're selling.

Eligible for parole when? He'll serve seven and a half. You have to serve 85% of your time federally, which is better than in California. Very good, very good. And all I can hope is that in 2030, when he's released, that he's learned his lesson and never does this again.

If I can, I will. And another thing we did was, and we set federal precedents in this, we filed a civil wrongful death lawsuit against this drug dealer. And we won. But he tried to dismiss it by filing bankruptcy while he was behind bars. So this would mean by the time, and we won a $5.8 million judgment. And by the time he's released, that would have been wiped clean.

We took him to federal bankruptcy court and we argued in front of a federal bankruptcy judge. who ended up rolling in our favor. And without going into all the details, the bottom line is this. He will not be able to dismiss this judgment ever. That will follow him for the rest of his life.

If he ever owns a house, to put a lien on it, becomes into an inheritance, we can collect on it, and we can garnish wages.

Sure. And the problems actually date back to 2020, 2021, in terms of when we started having problems trying to get this law passed. In California, it's very difficult to hold a drug dealer accountable for somebody's death because you have to prove something called implied malice.

And that is prosecutors and law enforcement, in order to hold a dealer accountable for someone's death, have to prove that the drug dealer knew the drugs that they provided or were selling were dangerous enough. Knew, knew, or should have known, maybe. That it could cause death. That's right. Okay, and... we pretty much all know drugs are dangerous. That's why it's illegal to sell them.

But actually proving that is what's challenging and very difficult.
