“A jury of his peers determined that Anthony Rosa’s reckless disregard for the risk of his drug use caused the death of his two-year-old son, Charlie,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Rosa was fully aware of the hazards and knew that under ACS supervision, he was not allowed to be alone with his son. The single day Rosa and Charlie were alone – while Rosa’s wife gave birth to the brother Charlie will never meet – Charlie ingested enough fentanyl to kill an adult.
