I originally thought with a skim of the news that he threatened to kill himself and she was just “fine do it”. But reading over the coverage the amount of effort into convincing him is insane. Plus she was on the phone the whole time and prevented him from stopping and did not call EMS.

There are people who lurk in groups like that because they get off on it. They are not suicidal themselves, but will encourage others to end their lives- it’s entertainment. Here’s a nurse who got convicted and is already out: http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/william-melchert-dinkel-ex-nurse-who-encouraged-suicides-out-of-…

Yeah, basically - she directly contributed to his death by encouraging him to do it and doing nothing to prevent it, while having full knowledge that is was occurring (and where and how it was occurring). It’s a fairly high threshold to overcome if you want to prosecute.

I feel like there’s a huge difference between, “You have a right to take your own life, here are tips on how to do it so that it is as painless and peaceful as possible,” and telling someone to get back in the car when they decide at the last minute that they don’t want to commit suicide and are scared. You know?

(Please know that I’m not going after you. I’ve just seen a lot of excuses for the young woman and it’s making the flames come out of my ears a little bit.)

Wasn’t she encouraging him to kill himself, even giving him instructions?

The whole point of the justice system is that they look at the facts of every single case.

In the sentencing, the judge spoke of her “behavior of grandiosity”, citing a specific doctor (I’m assuming court psychiatrist), and enjoined her from profiting from her crime. He covered every way she could possibly profit, including by proxy and third party. Grandiosity is part of narcissism which can be…

You forgot

Pretty much every single police officer caught on tape clearly murdering someone who is almost always a POC - rarely even a grand jury or even a trial. And when there’s a trial? Not guilty, of course.

My favorite: Ethan Couch - Affluenza

Yeah, any mention of mental illness doesn’t excuse what she did. She used his mental illness and death for her benefit, almost in a Munchausen by proxy scenario.

She wanted the attention she’d get from being a grieving girlfriend. She was desperately trying to be accepted by a group of popular girls at school.

You forgot -

But not to the extent where she didn’t know what she was doing and that it was wrong.

Yep, it’s called being a sociopath.

Yeah, psychopathy.

She does, she has depression.

sure - but dont most people that choose to take anothers life?
