this was an act of comission, not an act of omission. She actively conducted herself in behavior that demonstrated a depravity to human life. That is a crime. She knew it by confiding in an e mail that said if they find our texts she can go to jail. Enough for the prosecutor to go forward. Pray for a conviction.
It's not like she hypnotized him. And he didn't have to communicate with her.
I’d hit it.
So if I'm not an expert in ballistics and anatomy, I could get away with shooting someone because I didn't understand the harm that a bullet could cause?
She had 100% understanding that he actions would cause his death. She even admitted that in texts to others.
This wasn't a casual conversation, she helped him plot and plan his suicide. She even made decisions like where and when.
If he had robbed a bank and been shot and killed, and these kinds of texts from her had been found about the planning and the encouraging to go through with it, she would be charged in the same manner.
Her crime, in our assisted suicide gulag, is not being an M.D., so she should be prosecuted for practicing new age medicine without a license. Little chance that liberals will spot the hypocrisy in this.
This is exactly how our enemies use our Constitution against us, because they take the concept and run it to the extreme. Free speech does not mean you can say whatever is on your mind, repeatedly, when those words lead to a death that was not one carried out by those who are legally sanctioned to carry out a death penalty. An example would be repeated calls for a known serial killer to receive the death penalty. That would be covered.
Probably. Or she embarrassed him indirectly by telling him about all her bedroom conquests and adventures, leaving no details out, however vulgar. These are stories she would usually be sharing with another girl, who would respond describing her own escapades, be they real, imagined or exaggerated.
Bad, but how is that different from the state encouraging people to take advantage of doctor-assisted and government-paid suicide?
It didn't involve a connection to the tail pipe. I was going to say how did work, but since you're asking how to commit suicide, I'll pass.
She looks Irish. This should not matter, but she’s a pretty girl. I’m concerned that if this goes to trial, by that time she would have been coached on how to fake sadness and despair. The Jury will give her a strict warning about ‘values’ (during which she will roll her Irish eyes) and then probation.
I agree, camel/tent, slope/slippery.
If you wine & dine a woman for weeks/months and then finally convince her to have sex with you, could she later claim that you talked her into it so now it’s rape?
Awful, evil, rotten, sure, but criminally responsible????? I say no.
Interesting. Is the verbal urging of suicide a cause of his death? Is their a statute forbidding the verbal urging of suicide under penalty of imprisonment? What is the case law for any analogous facts? HMMM!
I'd say that proof of feeling he had to communicate with her is telling her he couldn't go on with it and that he got out of the car, when he knew she wanted to him to stay in and die. And I'd also say that proof of being hypnotized is that she was then able to command him back into the car to die when he didn't want to do it - but he did, and he died. What higher definitions of these terms is even possible? So given those proofs, what is all your heart based on?
100%
I think you are confusing a lot of unrelated things. She encouraged and manipulated a person into doing harm... Just because the harm was to himself makes no difference.
Charles Manson personally killed no one, but he was properly convicted of 7 counts of first degree murder.
There is no confusion in the law about this. She should indeed face these charges.
Let's replace the action of suicide with another action, murder, and see if it changes things:
"Is the verbal urging of murder a cause of his death? Is there a statute forbidding the verbal urging of murder under the penalty of imprisonment?"
Yes, there is. Conspiracy if nothing else. Planning, urging, and manipulating someone into committing a crime is, in and of itself, criminal behavior. When a criminal action leads to a death, those involved can be charged in the death, even if they did not take direct action.
Think about the getaway driver at a bank robbery. If one of the robbers is killed, the driver can be charged with manslaughter or even murder.
Irrelevant details. What matters is whether she compelled him against his will. She did. Therefore she murdered him, knowingly, deliberately and with premeditation. Add aggravated malice for stopping him from escaping. 1st degree aggravated murder. Execute her - with prejudice.
Nothing good EVER comes from Evil meeting Crazy.
Wow, I think we’ve found Hillary’s new aide.
