In British Columbia, while deaths resulting for the illegal sale of Fentanyl ascend, Judge rules "no jail" for convicted adult Fentanyl distributor.  By 10/24/2016, deaths from Fentanyl exceed all of 2015.

In Virginia, Juvenile & Domestic Relations Judges are mandated to render outcomes which are in the best interest of the offending child and a different approach is used in the Adult Courts.  In the below reported case, the article suggests that Canadian Judges are required to apply standards found in Virginia's Juvenile Courts to adult offenders...even with overdose deaths linked to the adult distributor/offender hang in the balance.
