Does response 1 answer the question 1. Applying what you know after reading this chapter, discuss whether it might have been feasible to charge the defendant with some form of murder. Discuss the argument for at least two homicide charges based on the facts presented. Discuss in detail. In this case trying to charge the defendant with murder is a lot more complicated because there are other factors in the situation where it favors the defendant more than the victim. While Burrage is responsible for selling Banka the heroin the prosecution would find difficulty in proving that the heroin is the sole cause for his death as Banka did use other drugs other than just the heroin. In this case that's probably the only thing holding this case back from it being a murder conviction because it would be a different case if Banka only used just the heroin then the prosecution's case would be easier.Since there were other drugs involved and Banka's overall health condition could have caused the death, it becomes hard to definitively link Burrage's actions to the fatal outcome. One homicide charge that I could think of is involuntary manslaughter because this would mean that in this case Burrage acted recklessly when handling the drugs he distributed to Banka. An argument could be made that the mere fact of distributing heroin to anyone will have negative effects. In this case there was a death by drug overdose Burrage acted in a reckless manner, showing disregard for the risk of death
