[OldFriend]

But seriously, this man violated the trust of the man who committed suicide. He admitted he suspected the friend might commit suicide.

It's against the law to tape a conversation without the express knowledge of both parties.

Franky, I don't care what he wrote, he broke the trust and the law.

I can see how you are seeing it. I'm not sure if I see it that way at this point. But, this was a tragedy all the way around; I would certainly agree with that.

[mewzilla]

Does the law specify that consent can't be inferred or implied, that it has to asked for and given? If so, the journo is toast and deservedly so.

I think that the man knew that a crime was about to be committed and he had every right, even an obligation to record that conversation, as to the proof of what really happened. Now we know.
