From the press release, District Attorney Erik Nasarenko states: "On May 27, 2018, Spejcher went to Mr. O’Melia’s apartment in Thousand Oaks, where both took several hits from a bong loaded with marijuana. Spejcher had an adverse reaction to the marijuana and suffered from what experts call Cannabis-Induced Psychotic Disorder. During that psychotic episode, Spejcher stabbed Mr. O’Melia multiple times killing him. She also stabbed herself repeatedly."
Bryn Spejcher was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, and the judge sentenced her to 2 years of probation on January 23, 2024.
