    Ed Buck, a longtime fixture of West Hollywood politics, was
    convicted Tuesday of charges that he supplied the methamphetamine
    that killed two men during “party and play” encounters at his
    apartment.

    In a gruesome case of an older white man using his power and money
    to exploit the poverty and drug addiction of younger Black men, the
    jury found Buck guilty of every charge in a nine-count indictment.
    Among them were maintaining a drug den, distribution of
    methamphetamine and enticement to cross state lines to engage in
    prostitution.

    Buck, 66, could spend the rest of his life in prison. His two
    convictions for supplying the meth that resulted in death each carry
    a minimum sentence of 20 years.

    The verdict concluded a two-week trial that featured harrowing
    testimony by men hired by Buck to show off their bodies in underwear
    and get high on crystal meth and the party drug GHB. Excerpts from
    Buck’s hundreds of graphic videos and photos of the drugs-and-sex
    sessions left spectators wincing at the trial.


    It was only in September 2019, after a third Black man nearly died
    of an overdose, that Buck was arrested — a delay that fueled angry
    protests by activists who accused law enforcement officials of
    failing to aggressively investigate a politically influential white
    man. Buck, a onetime candidate for West Hollywood’s City Council,
    made more than $500,000 in campaign donations over the last couple
    of decades, nearly all of it to Democrats.
