Top drug dealer convicted in the fatal overdose of beloved rapper #MacMiller has officially been sentenced to 17.5 year in federal prison!

On Monday a judge moved forwarded with rejecting Stephen Walters, 49 plea deal as being too lenient after he was discovered still selling counterfeit oxycodone pills after Mac’s 2018 tragic death reports Rolling Stone.

The previous plea deal was made through federal prosecutors for a straight 17 year sentence. However it has been said that the deal fell below federal guidelines and that Stephen had continued to distribute cocaine and life threatening pills known as “blues”. He was arrested in 2019.

“The court has elected not to accept that plea agreement. So, sir, if you want, at this point, you can withdraw your guilty plea and go to trial,” states Judge Wright.

“I may as well lay it out, okay. When you continue to engage in this activity even after your activities killed someone, I’m having a tough time not staying within the guidelines.”

Sources confirm that Stepehen is now the second convicted drug dealer to receive more than a 10 years behind bars for Miller’s tragic death. Ryan Reavis, 39, was sentenced to nearly 11 years in prison last month.

Stepehen known as a former dog groomer was provided as chance to address the court as he pleaded guilty to a single charge of Fetanyl distribution.

“My actions caused a lot of pain, and for that I’m truly remorseful. I’m not that type of person who wants to hurt anybody. That’s not me. But on the paperwork where it says that I continued to conduct in that kind of behavior after I knew that there was death, that’s not the truth, your honor.”

Judge Wright interrupted in saying, “I don’t know whether or not it was after you knew because no one can prove what you knew and when you knew it, but it was certainly after the event,”

Stepehen then moved on to explain that he allegedly directed Reavis to deliver the pills to a third drug dealer charged in the case, Cameron Pettit, because he allegedly believed that Pettit wanted the pills for himself.

“I dealt with Cameron Pettit, and he led me to believe that he was going to ingest the pills that I sold him. He never told me anything about McCormick. He didn’t tell me he was going to deliver those pills to another person,” Walter said.

“I’m still taking responsibility for everything that happened, but he never told me it was for another person,” continued Stepehen. “He was experienced is using those pills. I thought it was for him — for personal use. And then he delivered them to McCormick with cocaine and Xanax, or whatever. I was not willing to do that and had no intent to do anything else other than [sell to] Cameron Pettit. And then two days later, when there was an overdose, Cameron never called me and told me about it, that he had anything to do with him. So I had no idea that somebody had passed. If I would have known, I would not have continued that type of behavior.”

Prior to Stephen sentencing of 17.5 years in prison and five years of supervised release, judge Wright stated, “This was a human being who unwittingly took something that will flat out kill you, and I have no idea why we have people out here dealing in this stuff, peddling this stuff. This is what upsets me. Everybody now knows this stuff will kill you. I need to be quiet because I’m talking myself into something stratospheric.”
