Matt Capelouto, President, Drug-Induced Homicide Foundation
Manage episode 394193347 series 3539457
Former Congresswoman Mary Bono kicks off her first episode with Matt Capelouto who lost his daughter Alexandra to fentanyl poisoning in 2019. Matt became president of Drug-Induced Homicide Foundation, and has introduced Senate Bill 44, otherwise known as "Alexandra's Law," which would help prosecutors bring murder charges against convicted drug dealers. For some grieving parents, laws like this represent a path to justice—the only way to punish the people they believe “poisoned” their children in a country that has gone soft against hardened criminals. For others, it’s a doomed latter-day embrace of the war on drugs that will only bring more pain and suffering.
