A federal jury convicted Buck of two counts of meth distribution resulting in death as well as three other charges following deliberations that lasted for more than four hours following a two-week trial.

The verdict was handed down four years to the day after 26-year-old Gemmel Moore was found dead of a drug overdose in Buck’s West Hollywood apartment.

In January 2019, 55-year-old Timothy Dean died from a meth overdose, again in Buck’s apartment.

Brown said Buck injected him with meth nearly daily for five weeks, according to court documents

After his second overdose, Brown said Buck refused to call an ambulance and Brown was forced to call 911 at a nearby gas station

“I didn’t think I was going to believed,” Brown said after the verdict

Simpson prosecutor Christopher Darden, who claimed that Buck “did nothing to cause the death of any person.” Darden alleged that neither Moore nor Dean died from methamphetamine overdoses and went to Buck’s apartment of their own volition

Buck, who had given more than $500,000 to mostly Democratic politicians — including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama — and causes since 2000, was also convicted of four counts of meth distribution, one count of keeping a drug den and two more counts of enticement to cross state lines for prostitution
