   A former US Army soldier was sentenced to 15 months in federal   
   prison on Thursday for supplying a fatal dose of the party drug   
   Molly to a young woman at the Electric Zoo music festival in   
   2018.   
      
   In the remote sentencing hearing in Manhattan federal court,   
   drug dealer Lagaria Slaughter broke down as he apologized for   
   peddling the poison that caused 20-year-old Katherine Schlegel   
   to overdose at the electric music festival on Randall’s Island.   
      
   “I want the family and friends of the victim to know that the   
   person I was back then is not who I am, but a selfish and   
   inconsiderate child wrapped up in something I should not have   
   been,” Slaughter said after pausing to collect himself.   
      
   Slaughter, a specialist in the Army who was kicked out after his   
   arrest, added that he’s been diagnosed with “bipolar   
   depression,” but has found work in a care home since he was   
   relieved of duty.   
      
   “I spent the rest of my military career trapped inside my   
   depression as I tried to cope with the events that had taken   
   place,” he said.   
      
   Slaughter, who in 2018 was stationed at Fort Drum in upstate New   
   York, traveled to the city the weekend of the festival with   
   another soldier, who arranged to buy 57 molly tablets to use   
   with Schlegel and her friend at the gig.   
      
   Schlegel — a college student from New Cannan, Conn., who was not   
   a regular drug user — overdosed and died two days later at a New   
   York City hospital.   
      
   Her mother, Elena Schlegel, said at the sentencing hearing she   
   remains devastated by her daughter’s premature death.   
      
   “I will be forever haunted, thinking about her just trapped in   
   her last moments. Was she scared? Was she conscious? Was she   
   wondering where I was?” she said.   
      
   “Our daughter was the most beautiful, loving, young lady you   
   could ever know. She loved going to concerts. She loved music.   
   She was not a regular drug user,” she added.   
      
   Investigators who searched Slaughter’s barracks prior to his   
   arrest recovered 10 capsules of Molly, 55 doses of LSD,   
   psychedelic mushrooms, a scale and other drug-packaging   
   paraphernalia, authorities said.   
      
   He’ll be required to turn himself in at a federal prison   
   facility in April, the judge ordered Thursday.
