Bartter drug dealer's first night in jail

A Sydney drug dealer who supplied the MDMA that killed Georgina Bartter has spent his first night behind bars.

Matthew Forti was jailed for at least one year on Friday, hugging his emotional family after being sentenced at the Sydney District Court

The 19-year-old had been on bail since being arrested and had pleaded guilty to three counts of supplying the drug months after Miss Bartter, 19, died in November last year from cardiac arrest and drug overdose.

Forti sold four MDMA tablets for $240 to Miss Bartter's best friend Rebecca Hannibal for the teens to take at a music festival.

Hannibal was handed a nine-month good behaviour bond in June this year for drug supply while Forti, who was sentenced to a maximum 22 months, will be eligible for parole next August.
