Conviction in Drug Related Deaths

(Michigan City, IN) - A Michigan City man could spend the rest of his life in prison.  46-year old Jesse Brockman was convicted of causing the deaths of a man and woman from drugs.

 

In September of 2019, Christina Rosetti and Zachary Granzo were found dead from drug overdoses inside a room at the ABC Motel on Franklin St. in Michigan City.  Brockman, accused of providing the drugs, was arrested the following day.

 

He was found guilty on all ten counts by a La Porte Superior Court 1 jury last week.  Four of the counts each carry an up to 40 year sentence.

 

Authorities said it’s the first conviction in La Porte County of dealing narcotics causing a death

under a state law passed in 2018.
