three men charged in relation to Mac Miller‘s 2018 death from a drug overdose has been sentenced to 17 years and six months in prison.Stephen Andrew Walter, 49, was handed the sentence on Monday (May 16) after pleading guilty to a single charge of fentanyl distribution. Walter had previously agreed to a 17-year sentence as part of a plea deal last year, dropping the more serious charge of fentanyl distribution resulting in death.However, the judge in the case, Otis D.
Wright II, rejected the plea this week on the basis that Walter had continued to sell the oxycontin pills that led to Miller’s overdose after the rapper’s death.It’s alleged that Walter supplied fentanyl-laced oxycontin pills to co-defendant Cameron James Pettit in September of 2018, which were run to Pettit by the pair’s other co-defendant, Ryan Michael Reavis.The pills were then allegedly supplied to Miller, along with cocaine and Xanax. The rapper was found dead on September 7, aged 26, and his death was later ruled an accidental drug overdose due to a “mixed drug toxicity” of fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol.Walter has repeatedly claimed he did not know that the pills he supplied to co-defendant Cameron James Pettit contained fentanyl.
He also claimed that he did not learn of Miller’s death until his arrest. As Rolling Stone reports, he reiterated these claims when addressing the Los Angeles court this week, also apologising to Miller’s family.“My actions caused a lot of pain, and for that I’m truly remorseful,” Walter said.
“I’m not that type of person who wants to hurt anybody. That’s not me.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorIt’s safe to say that although Italian rock quartet Maneskin were pretty huge in their home country and parts of Europe when they took the Eurovision stage last year, their name recognition and popularity exploded when they won the coveted prize with their song “Zitti E Buoni.” Over the past year, the group has seen their streams, sales and tour itineraries soar, appeared on “Saturday Night Live” and at the Coachella festival — and perhaps most impressive of all, began working with Max Martin, the most successful songwriter-producer of the past 25 years (from Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys to Katy Perry to the Weeknd and Taylor Swift), on their next album.Although the group premiere a new, anti-Putin song called “Gasoline” at Coachella last month, the first fruit of the new partnership arrives tonight: the single “Supermodel,” which drops tonight. While Martin started off as a singer in a hard rock band, this is the first time in many years he’s worked with one — and it’s hard not to notice that the song’s riff owes more than a little to Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” “Yeeepppp,” bassist Victoria De Angelis acknowledges coyly.
