| A jury last week convicted the 67-year-old man on two counts each of possession and distribution of gamma hydroxybutyrate, or GHB, an illegal depressant commonly referred to as a "date rape" drug because of its anesthetic properties. A 67-year-old Springfield man, Richard Hans Norland, will be sentenced Friday for possessing and selling gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB) in a case that began with an investigation of the suicide of a woman who was addicted to the drug.
