"charges under an agreement that calls for him to spend 30 to 40 years in prison."

amen to that! I know that addiction is a serious problem. I understand it. But for God's sake. Where is the line drawn here for using that as a reason for such despicable actions? i think there is much more to it than that. Much much more.
I agree with his3707, there is much, much more to this. Someone saying "It's not my responsibility" seems to be at the bottom of this mess. There should be others held accountable for this.
