Twenty-One Years for Fentanyl Death | Anchorage News

A North Pole woman just received a 21-year prison sentence for selling fentanyl that killed a 32-year-old man in 2022 — a tragedy she admitted to causing, though she thought she was dealing heroin. Despite prosecutors and her defense suggesting a lighter term, the judge handed down the maximum penalty after highlighting her refusal to heed warnings about the deadly drugs. This isn’t her first brush with the law — she was previously charged under state law and now faces federal charges tied to a larger operation allegedly run by someone already serving life in California. Her associate, Edward Ginnis, got a 22-year sentence for the same charge. The victim’s family is left with an irreversible loss, and prosecutors emphasized this was a preventable death.
