The lovely woman pictured above is being charged with providing prescription drugs from 2008 to 2011 to four young adults who overdosed on Opana, a narcotic painkiller similar to oxycodone. Jordan Steffen reports:
Almeda "Ally" Sullivan has been charged with one count of first-degree murder with extreme indifference in the 2011 accidental overdose death of 21-year-old Carter Hidgon. Sullivan has also been connected to three additional overdose deaths.

They are not required to prove she intended to kill Higdon.
