Also, I don't think they'd believe you got an A in crim if your grasp of the law is as solid as you've displayed so far.

You should show your age and pull out a Seinfeld reference, too.

That's just disingenuous. You weren't trying to just "debunk" something, you insulted me by (incorrectly) telling me that I was wrong and inserting a jab about me being a bad law student. Maybe I'm a little sensitive since my last exam of the semester was two days ago, but jeez. If you're going to dish the snark,…

Yeah, I need to cool it, even though I didn't start the snarking. And even though I was right. Both times.

The right to face your accuser isn't the same thing as the right to publish the accuser's name. The law grants this exception to minors in certain situations as well. We recognize that certain crimes with living victims are more sensitive in nature than others, and also that victims who come forward are likely to be…

They could be considered child pornography.

Wow, you really can't just admit that you were wrong and I was right— I said it COULD be illegal. I am fully aware that it is a minority view and that the common law duty of no support is the majority. But I was not 99% incorrect; I was 100% correct, since I was basically saying "it depends" on the good samaritan law…

Actually, it does have to do with criminal liability. Failing to report is a misdemeanor, and the criminal punishment is a $100 fine.

To clarify— good samaritan laws are not uniform. Some states incorporate an affirmative duty to help a person or require them to at least attempt to get help (e.g. call 911). Under the common law, however, there was no affirmative duty to aid or rescue. So, despite what the sarcastic EmBee6 said, it will depend on…

Actually, super-sarcastic-person, some states have incorporated an affirmative duty into their good samaritan laws that makes it a crime NOT to help and/or get help. So actually I am correct.

Okay, huge caveat here that I am *in training* (only halfway done with law school) and this is not legal advice, etc. etc.

A Title IX complaint has already been filed with the school after some of the students were identified (not all of them have been identified yet, however). The complaint lists witnesses who were with her and also heard the language/threats, so there is third-party corroboration.

Yeah, I had the same reaction.

If there are good samaritan laws, then yes, it could be illegal. But usually, there is no duty to report/help a person who has been a victim of a crime.

This is amazing. Similar thing going on right now with a woman harassed and threatened with rape by Notre Dame undergrads:

I think we need to distinguish between mental illnesses and sociopathy. The latter is what accurately describes Adam Lanza and "Michael." And sociopaths with access to guns is a very, very dangerous thing.

I thought the same thing. Even putting a lock on the guns and not giving Adam the combination seems like a basic safety precaution. I don't want to start victim-blaming, but in this case, I think there are some legitimate questions about parents' responsibilities to the community when the parents are in the best…

It's Tracie Egan Morrissey. When she's not busy victim-blaming, she's reposting videos of children being exploited.

Agreed. And of course it's everyone's favorite Jezebel author, Tracie Egan Morrissey.

Thanks for pointing that out to me! Why is she still authoring posts on here? I don't like giving irresponsible writers a platform on Jezebel.
