Criminal Charges Inevitable Whoever prescribed the drugs is going to get charged and those in his inner circle that helped him get them will also get charged. All of his private business will become public information in connection with the cases. I feel bad for everyone involved. It is bad news when the DEA gets involved and they must feel like they can make an example out of someone. | |

They aren't inevitable at all. If a doctor prescribed him painkillers for pain and he took too many of them, it's not necessarily the doctor's fault. . If friends got him extra pills, that is probably illegal but would be tough to prove that perhaps. | |

The DEA does not raid in what was mostly a state investigation unless there is some low hanging fruit and an easy example to be made in a high profile case. The DEA probably feels like it can send a strong message to doctors and enablers and those who are addicted by holding those involved accountable. | |

The whole thing has gone off the rails. I'm glad they are being thorough but its gone too far. Just state the facts and leave it at that. I don't believe there was criminal wrongdoing and its unfortunate if its turned into finding people to blame other than Prince himself and perhaps a very select number of persons closest to him that neglected to monitor his condition the night he died. Still neglect isn't necessarily a crime. Out of this heartbreaking, tragic loss we may learn something about caring for patients in Prince's condition and that should be the main focus imo. If something positive or proactive comes from this perhaps the hurt may begin to subside. It's a hurtful place, the world, in and of itself. We don't need to add to it. We all need one another. ~ PRN | |

The DEA will certainly investigate and raid, but it doesn't mean they'll find anything. They were also involved with Heath Ledger but it turns out he had legit scripts from legit doctors and the responsibility of mixing them (and thus dying) was on him. The investigation fizzled and no one was charged. Investigating is just that---investigating. | |

In my opinion, there are only two crimes. 1. Waiting until April 20th to get the addiction specialist after he had serious close calls. 2. Leaving him alone when his life was clearly in danger. I can forgive all of the rest, but those two things will always bother me. | |

What will bother me more is not punishing drug dealing doctors who over prescribe medications for monetary gain. We rely on doctors to show discipline and restraint, and there's nothing worse then the abuse of patient trust just so they can make a few extra bucks. And if these prescription drug stories turn out to be true, that fact is the one and ONLY crime here... | |

I disagree.. if he knowingly took more than prescribed.. its gonna be Prince's fault... but doctors definitely overly-prescribe people in the U.S... and more research should definitely be done as to why [Edited 5/10/16 18:45pm] | |

I don't know how pain management doctor's in Minnesota operate but the ones that I am aware of in California regularly do urine tests on patients that are taking oxy to make sure they aren't taking too much and/or exhibiting drug seeking behavior. | |

destinyc1 said: DEA doesn't get involved because a person may of taken a few too many pills and passed. They're pretty gun happy. If they see something that looks like it could be lucrative for them (such as a high profile celebrity who dies from a suspected OD) they will come running. | |

Why did they wait 3 weeks to do this (if this is true) alot of evidence might be missing or contaminated by now Keep Calm & Listen To Prince | |
