J Q R v. State of Indiana

── J Q R v. State of Indiana ── Case No.: 24S-JV-00298 Court: Indiana Supreme Court Date: March 12, 2025 Author: Justice Loretta Rush County of Origin: Hendricks Category: Juvenile Decision: Affirmed Fifteen-year-old J.Q.R. sold pills to two freshman classmates, B.H. and R.J., after they asked him for Percocet M30 pills. Though pharmaceutical grade Percocet M30 pills contain oxycodone, the pills J.Q.R. sold contained fentanyl. B.H. and R.J. were aware the pills contained fentanyl, and they each consumed about one-eighth of a pill at B.H.’s house. R.J. then “did more” later that night at his house. Tragically, in what has become a far too common occurrence, R.J. was found dead in his bedroom the next day from a fentanyl overdose.
