I cannot recall reading of anything like a similar case, IMHO the perp deserves everything he gets:


A man pleaded not guilty Wednesday to involuntary manslaughter for allegedly causing a man's death by putting methamphetamine in his drink.


Jon Patrick Freiberg entered the not guilty plea during his arraignment in Natrona County District Court. Freiberg also pleaded not guilty to multiple charges of possession and delivery of meth.


Court documents allege Freiberg killed Richard Serafin in August after putting meth in a cup Serafin that was drinking from. The documents indicate Serafin consumed the drugs accidentally. Investigators spoke with multiple people who said he never used drugs.




An autopsy revealed Serafin died of cardiac arrest due to acute stresses of methamphetamine intoxication. Serafin had a heart condition that was apparently unknown at the time, the documents state.


Police found Serafin's body inside a hot car parked outside a Casper hotel on Aug. 28. Investigators later spoke to a teenager who said he saw Freiberg carrying Serafin and putting him into the car. The teen told authorities Serafin needed help moving and appeared intoxicated.


Prosecutors filed charges April 4.




Freiberg is being represented by public defender Jared Holbrook. Natrona County District Attorney Michael Blonigen is prosecuting the case.


The defendant is being held in the Natrona County Detention Center in lieu of $100,000 bond.
