California Democratic activist and megadonor Ed Buck has hired 
former O.J. Simpson prosecutor Christopher Darden to defend him 
against federal charges in connection with two overdose deaths 
at his West Hollywood apartment, according to new reports.

Buck was indicted in October with distributing methamphetamine 
that resulted in the deaths of Timothy Dean in January and 
Gemmel Moore in 2017.

Federal prosecutors said Buck, 65, who has given hundreds of 
thousands of dollars to Democratic causes, preyed on vulnerable 
gay black men and pressured them to let him inject them with 
drugs as part of a sexual ritual known as “party and play,"  NBC 
Los Angeles reported.

Buck was arrested Sept. 17 and hit with state charges of 
operating a drug house. Two days later, federal prosecutors 
charged him with distributing methamphetamine that resulted in 
Moore’s death.

The Los Angeles Times reported that Darden confirmed he will 
take on the Buck case: “That’s all I can say today,” he said. “I 
haven’t received any discovery yet, so that’s all I can say.”

The newspaper reported that court records show Darden replaced 
Buck’s deputy public defender, Claire Simonich, on Dec. 5.

Buck is being held without bail, and his trial is set for August 
at the earliest.

The federal charges bring a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 
years if Buck is convicted in the deaths.

Family members of the victims had criticized local prosecutors 
for not charging Buck in the deaths. Moore’s family and friends 
have said Buck got favorable treatment because of his status and 
reputation, and that the victims were ignored because they were 
gay black men, drug users and often sex workers.

“If white gay men had been dying in a black man’s house or 
anybody’s house, rather, this case would have been taken a lot 
more seriously,” said Jasmyne Cannick, a communications 
strategist who spearheaded the effort to get justice for Moore. 
“Ed Buck knew who he was preying on, and he knew that people 
would not care. Or he thought that people would not care.”

Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey has said 
politics played no role in her decision not to prosecute Buck in 
the deaths of the two men. She defended her decision and said 
there was insufficient evidence to proceed with murder charges.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department reopened the case 
after the second death in January.

In July, the U.S. attorney’s office took the case after 
sheriff’s detectives approached a federal task force 
investigating opioid overdoses.

Buck has donated tens of thousands of dollars to California 
candidates, including Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, and is well 
known in LGBTQ political circles. According to federal records, 
Buck contributed more than $500,000 to Democratic groups -- 
including $1,500 to Barack Obama's presidential campaign and 
$2,950 to the Hillary Clinton campaign.

Buck gained fame by leading a 1987 campaign to recall Republican 
Arizona Gov. Evan Mecham, who was ultimately convicted in an 
impeachment trial and kicked out of office.

Buck had been a Republican but said he switched party 
affiliation to Democrat because he felt the GOP was intolerant 
toward the gay community.

He has told reporters that he worked as a male model in Europe 
in his youth and returned to Phoenix, where he worked for a 
friend’s company, eventually buying it out of bankruptcy for 
$250,000 and turning it around for a profit of more than $1 
million.

He said he retired to West Hollywood in 1991 at the age of 37 
and became active in animal rescue efforts.
