Pittsburgh Man Sentenced For Local Drug Deaths

A Pittsburgh man who sold fentanyl laced heroin to two Washington residents causing their overdose deaths was sentenced to state prison on Thursday. Thirty year old William Greene will spend the next 35 to 70 years in prison for causing the deaths of David Chappel and Megan Peacock in 2019. Greene was on trial in January for the death of Chappel when part way through the trial he decided to enter an open plea of guilty to that case, the Peacock case and several other possession with the intent to deliver cases. Greene faced charges in six separate cases. Greene received two sentences of 9-18 years for the delivery causing death charges. He received four other sentences totaling 17-34 years on possession with intent to deliver charges. The sentences on all cases will run consecutively. Greene chose to deliver his allocution statement himself. He apologized to the families who lost loved ones, he accepted responsibility for his actions and asked for forgiveness stating that his heart is filled with peace and love. The defense attorney for Greene indicated that they are weighing their future options.
