heres the indictment

there is nothing that doesnt suck about this, I am leaning she is a big mouth kid who acts and conducts herself as if panties are 3 sizes larger. I cant help but womder if she didnt think she was actually helping him and that everything would be ok. In other words I dont sense any malice.

Tough case, I dont agree with the verdict and neither should she get off without a good spanking, and unfortunately it set precedent that takes another slice out of our rights. How? She never touched him or did anything physical to cause his death, it was his decision.

Well she is definitely a bitch, but that doesn't make her guilty. For example, as people know here I will probably end it one day, but nobody is going to get me to do it earlier no matter how much they would like to. Not one minute sooner.

But as much of a bitch she is, she did not put him in the truck nor did she have any hands on involvement, and no matter what the statute says I would be inclined to acquit, because that is what juries are for.

I have counseled people on the verge of suicide, or at least they said. Most of them ended up not doing it. One of the main things is "Well first of all you can always do it tomorrow, or next week or whatever". This broad did the opposite and the evidence is a bit in question because sometimes when people just keep it up it is time to call their bluff. That may be what she was doing.

May be. I find it more likely that at that age she was being very reckless, and possibly she had some mental problems. He did, why was she attracted to her ?

And this could not see him suffering any longer, a blow job can fix that. If he was the love of her life she could have just said "Come on over and I will give you a reason to live".

Also, even as a total bitch she could have just said "I am not talking this morbid shit with you anymore, if you want to do it do it, but as far as I am concerned drop the subject. Get over here and maybe we can have some fun". Some shit like that. If he meant so much to her, why not ? I know 17 is supposedly too young but sat least it is not 15, and he could have found a hooker.

This is not something people should take a major felony for. when she told him to get back in the truck, that could be construed as reckless endangerment, but I still think that to put her away for a major felony should require that she had her hands on more than a phone.

If someone calls you and tells you to jump of a bridge are you going to do it ? Would you have done it at 17 ? If so, there is something wrong with YOU. If you hook up with the wrong cunt and whack yourself over it, oh well.

That would be my decision, reckless endangerment at the most. Manslaughter ? You will see too many people going to jail over less than this. They put alot on that indictment but little in the way of common sense, and they were repetitive, like the media. Yes she is a bitch, they make it out that he was a budding civil engineer who was master at piano and had his own truck and a job and all that and she just tore him down from his high horse.

I don't buy it.

"Involuntary manslaughter" sounds about right in this case, to be honest.
Of course, the way some of the woman's apologists on here are braying and hooting, you'd think she's been sent down for premeditated murder or something, wouldn't you?

What probably sealed her conviction was telling her friends, in a text, that the police were reading their texts and she was in trouble (very loosely paraphrased.)

It proves she had the frame of mind to know she had done wrong, admitting guilt.

That, and the normal protective instincts one might feel for a young girl with mental issues was probably overwhelmed by the shock of how callously she treated him in his last few moments of life.

agreed, she is depicable, however it changes the law as we have known it since the beginning of time. She did not pull the trigger he did, yet she is suffering the same penalty as if she did, worse this new precedent will be liberally applied to the general population and gubmint and their operatives will enjoy near immunity.

She was convicted because of the following,
quote:

But then, Judge Moniz homed in on the cellphone calls between Ms. Carter and Mr. Roy while he was poisoning himself in his car. At the time, he said, Mr. Roy had fearfully climbed out of the car.

“He breaks that chain of self-causation by exiting the vehicle,” Judge Moniz said. “He takes himself out of that toxic environment that it has become.”

“She instructed Mr. Roy to get back into the truck, well knowing his ambiguities, his fears, his concerns,” Judge Moniz said. “This court finds that instructing Mr. Roy to get back in the truck constituted wanton and reckless conduct, by Ms. Carter creating a situation where there is a high degree of likelihood that substantial harm will result to Mr. Roy.”


She could also be guilty of depraved-indifference, wrongful death, and or assisted suicide
quote:

Depraved-heart murder is the form of murder that establishes that the willful doing of a dangerous and reckless act with wanton indifference to the consequences and perils involved, is just as blameworthy, and just as worthy of punishment, when the harmful result ensues, as is the express intent to kill itself. This highly blameworthy state of mind is not one of mere negligence. ... It is not merely one even of gross criminal negligence. ... It involves rather the deliberate perpetration of a knowingly dangerous act with reckless and wanton unconcern and indifference as to whether anyone is harmed or not. The common law treats such a state of mind as just as blameworthy, just as anti-social and, therefore, just as truly murderous as the specific intents to kill and to harm.
— Judge Moylan, Debettencourt v. State

https://definitions.uslegal.com/d/depraved-indifference/


.. It was already documented that the boy had considered suicide several times before. This wasn't some rational person. Assisting someone in suicide can be punishable, for example [although two links are a recent case. With the exception of "Utah" buying the rope [etc], they are "identical" in that both suicides were witnessed and could have been prevented]

California lawmakers recently acknowledged that terminally-ill people should have the right to die by passing California's first physician-assisted suicide law .

Assisted suicide, including doctor-prescribed suicide, is a common law crime in Massachusetts.

quote:

What is Considered Assisted Suicide?
Every state has a slightly different definition of what it means to assist a suicide, and some states do not actually define it in their statutes. Generally, someone assists with a suicide when:
> He does some act which causes someone else to die, such as administering lethal doses of drugs;
> He provides the drugs or tools necessary for someone else to commit suicide when he knows those tools are likely to be used for suicide;
> Advises someone else on the way to commit suicide; or
> Persuades someone else to commit suicide.
Note that it is not considered assisted suicide to fail to resuscitate someone who is already dying.

She may not have turned the key in the ignition, but she is guilty of many things, it's just a matter of how to punish one person without it becoming a slippery slope [which is why abuse versus spankings/etc is difficult]
quote:

Authorities have not commented on a motive in the case, but according to police documents, Conrad allegedly sent text messages to her friends and to Roy's mother expressing concern about Roy's whereabouts on the day he committed suicide, despite having been in constant contact with him and encouraging him to take his own life.



Most importantly, if this were your friend or family member and someone urged them to go through with this, how would you feel. Would you accept that there was nothing anyone could have done to prevent your loved one from dying, or would you want justice if someone knew something but didn't do anything.


Legal duty is tricky. Yes, if your occupation is one such as doctor, rescue worker, police officer, or teacher, even employer, if you don't report that someone is in danger, or a danger to themself or others you could be held partially responsible, but everyone has a duty to protect, whether it be legally, morally, or socially. Simply calling 9-1-1 and reporting, "hi. I think [name] is [action or condition]. They are at [location]" accomplishes this.
quote:

In the United States, as of 2009 ten states had laws on the books requiring that people at least notify law enforcement of and/or seek aid for strangers in peril under certain conditions: California, Florida, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Ohio, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin. These laws are also referred to as Good Samaritan laws, despite their difference from laws of the same name that protect individuals who try to help another person.

On a related note, duty to rescue, and should bystanders be held responsible, etc. Examples
quote:

On Memorial Day, 2011, 53-year-old Raymond Zack, of Alameda, California, walked into the waters off Robert Crown Memorial Beach and stood neck deep in water roughly 150 yards offshore for almost an hour. His foster mother, Dolores Berry, called 9-1-1 and said that he was trying to drown himself. (There are conflicting reports about Zack's intentions.) Firefighters and police responded but did not enter the water. The firefighters called for a United States Coast Guard boat to respond to the scene. According to police reports, Alameda police expected the firefighters to enter the water. Firefighters later said that they did not have current training and certifications to perform land-based water rescue. Dozens of civilians on the beach, and watching from their homes across from the beach, did not enter the water, apparently expecting public safety officers to conduct a rescue. Eventually, Zack collapsed in the water, apparently from hypothermia. Even then, nobody entered the water for several minutes. Finally, a good samaritan entered the water and pulled Zack to shore. Zack died afterwards at a local hospital.

In October 2011, a 2-year-old girl, Wang Yue, was hit by a small, white van in the city of Foshan, China, then run over by a large truck when she was not moved by bystanders. A total of 18 people ignored her, some going so far as to walk around the blood. The girl was left for seven minutes before a recycler, Chen Xianmei, picked up the toddler and called for help. The child died eight days later.

I'm asking in relation to what happened in Steubenville in Ohio. Considering that people stood by and apparently did not try to intervene, I wonder if people should have a legal responsibility to intervene, as a moral responsibility apparently no longer suffices to mobilize people. What do you think?

The problem with bystanders isn’t necessarily that they don’t do anything, although obviously that’s an issue. The larger problem is sometimes that they do in fact “do something” and that something is very unpleasant. They’re the ones cheering, creating a larger audience, goading the criminals on, feeding something terrible and monstrous that swells and grows as more people are attracted. They’re the ones who aren’t just condoning by remaining silent, but by actively high-fiving the criminals and creating a charged atmosphere.

But can bystanders be considered accessories to the crime if they witness it but don't report it.

An accessory is a person who assists in the commission of a crime, but who does not actually participate in the commission of the crime as a joint principal.

.. Something I forgot to add. Consider the Jonestown incident. November 18, 1978, Jonestown, Guyana, South America. Let's say Jim Jones hadn't died of a gunshot wound that same day, would he have been guilty of convincing nearly ONE THOUSAND people to commit suicide? But many people have all but said that you can't MAKE someone kill themself, so Jim Jones would have been able to continue manipulating people, maybe being convicted of tax evasion or some trivial crime. If Jim Jones is guilty why can't this girl be?

They weren't all suicides at Jonestown: there's a fair bit of evidence that many, particulatrly the kids, were injected with poison, rather than willingly drinking the koolade. How is that not murder?

In regards to Jonestown the question is, is Jim Jones quilty of all the deaths or not guilty? Regardless of what percent of deaths were children, did Jim Jones actually inject every kid with poison [etc], or did his followers do this, if it was his followers, once again, is Jim Jones actually responsible since these people were adults and should have been able to make decisions for themselves. Like they say, "you can't have your cake and eat it too". While Jonestown is outside of US jurisdiction, the situation is similar in that he convinced many vulnerable people to do something they wouldn't ordinarily have done. And no, just because the boy had previously attempted suicide doesn't mean he would have this time [proven by the text that told him to get back in the truck].

Recent update
quote:

Incitement to suicide
In 2017, a juvenile court in Massachusetts ruled that repeatedly encouraging someone to commit suicide was excluded from First Amendment protection, and found a 20-year-old woman, who was 17 at the time, guilty of manslaughter on this basis. The judge cited a little-known 1816 precedent. The woman is expected to file an appeal.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_free_speech_exceptions

quote:

The case against Michelle Carter, a doe-eyed Massachusetts teen accused of encouraging her boyfriend to kill himself via text messages, is both disturbing and unusual. But it’s not the first time this state has charged someone with inciting another person to commit suicide.

In fact, it has something in common with a case that stretches back two centuries. In 1816, a man jailed in Northampton was tried for murder after he encouraged an inmate in a neighboring cell to hang himself before the executioner could do it.

George Bowen was, by historical accounts, a “hardened and abandoned wretch’’ who was locked up on a petty larceny charge. Jonathan Jewett, the man in the cell next to him, had been convicted of murdering his father and was scheduled to die by hanging the next day.

After Jewett was found hanging from his cell the morning of Nov. 8, 1815, authorities filed two charges of murder. One charged Jewett with the crime of murdering himself. The other charged Bowen as a participant through “murder by counseling.’’

At Bowen’s trial, the jail keeper testified that he heard chatter through the jail walls.

“In one conversation, Jewett allegedly asked Bowen how he could hang himself. The defendant replied that ‘it can [be done]; I would make a string of my bed-ticking, and hang myself to these grates in five minutes,’’’ according to a passage in the Historical Journal of Massachusetts.

That advice, the prosecution said, would be enough to convict Bowen as a participant.

“If he took the means suggested by the prisoner it is enough. It is not necessary that Bowen should have been the sole adviser. . . . But Bowen was the most constant, and therefore, the most guilty adviser.’’
https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2015/09/08/what-the-suicide-by-text-case-has-in-common-with-a-19th-century-trial


Why are people upset that she is going to jail for his death anyway? Are they worried that if they tell someone to go [action], and that person does, then they'll be held responsible. Well that's common sense. Treat others how you'd want to be treated.. How is it a slippery slope that threatens our civil liberties. Worried we won't be able to do the following

Obscene speech. The First Amendment does not protect speech or expression that is considered "obscene." This is why child porn is against the law. However, the exact line between obscenity and free speech is often hard to determine. For example, the filmmaker behind the controversial "2 Girls, 1 Cup" viral video was sentenced to four years in prison for making films that were considered obscene, despite his contention that they were "art" protected by the First Amendment.
http://blogs.findlaw.com/law_and_life/2014/09/not-so-free-speech-5-limits-on-1st-amendment-rights.html

I question this one. 2 Girls, 1 Cup is obscene yet Hostel, Saw [movie franchise], and many movies like it aren't?!


It's only a slippery slope if we're doing things that impact other people. And remember, there are already anti-bullying laws, wouldn't those be unconstitutional?.. Someone brought up texts, not in regards to Carter's guilt or innocence, but this brings up private conversations. Texts and social media are admissible as evidence, doesn't this infringe on our First Amendment rights?.. Like the saying goes, "Never put anything in an e-mail that you wouldn't want on the front page of a newspaper".


Please provide a valid reason why shouldn't she be in jail for his death? Some people think she shouldn't, but haven't provided a valid reason why not.
+ "She wasn't responsible for his well-being". She was aware of his plans, had an active role in them, and didn't try stopping him. Instead she ENCOURAGED him to *slash*. She didn't even walk away. By saying this girl didn't have a responsibility, you're saying that if you and a friend are in a pool together, your friend has no responsibility to rescue you if you are drowning, compared to a complete stranger who is sunbathing.. .. Clearly someone, his parents or the district attorney, thought she was responsible prior to being convicted.. It will be determined in the various courts. At the moment it was tried in criminal court, which means that
quote:

Crimes are considered offenses against the state, or society as a whole. That means that even though one person might murder another person, murder itself is considered an offense to everyone in society. Accordingly, crimes against the state are prosecuted by the state, and the prosecutor (not the victim) files the case in court as a representative of the state. If it were a civil case, then the wronged party would file the case.

Although criminal and civil cases are treated very differently, many people often fail to recognize that the same conduct can result in both criminal and civil liability. Perhaps one of the most famous examples of this is the OJ Simpson trial. The same conduct led to a murder trial (criminal) and a wrongful death trial (civil). In part because of the different standards of proof, there was not enough evidence for a jury to decide that OJ Simpson was guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt" in the criminal murder case. In the civil trial, however, the jury found enough evidence to conclude that OJ Simpson wrongfully caused his wife's death by a "preponderance of the evidence".
http://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-law-basics/the-differences-between-a-criminal-case-and-a-civil-case.html

+ "She wasn't there". Okay. Well if you slip poison into someone's food, let the house fill with gas, etc etc, does that mean you wouldn't be guilty if you were on the other side of the world when your victim died?
+ "She was on medication". Okay, so let's release everyone who was impaired while committing a crime.
+ "He was an adult and could have made decisions for himself". Not one person ever has been pressured to do something they were uncomfortable doing? I'm sure you've heard of Lifetime movies where some woman convinces some man to kill her husband. How is that any different than what Michelle Carter did [she convinced him to do something he wouldn't have done]. A few examples where one person convinced another to kill someone:

Charles Manson convinced Tex Watson, Susan Atkins, Linda Kasabian, and Patricia Krenwinkel, to "totally destroy everyone in [it], as gruesome as you can". 1969, California. One of the killing sprees became known as the Tate Murders. Six people were killed: Sharon Tate, Sharon Tate's eight month old unborn child, Jay Sebring, Abigail Folger, Wojciech Frykowski, and Steven Parent.. It looks like in all the killings, Charles Manson never actually murdered a single person
quote:

Charles Manson was convicted on seven counts of first-degree murder for his role in the killings.

This is despite the fact that he never murdered anyone himself during the family’s killing spree. Instead, he ordered his followers to murder for him. This is known as murder by proxy. A proxy murder is defined as a murder in which the murderer does so at the behest of another, acting as his or her proxy.

June 19, 2014
Michelle Carter: But the mental hospital would help you. I know you don't think it would but I'm telling you, if you give them a chance, they can save your life
Michelle Carter: Part of me wants you to try something and fail just so you can go get help
Conrad Roy: It doesn't help. Trust me
Michelle Carter: So what are you gonna do then? Keep being all talk and no action and everyday go thru saying how badly you wanna kill yourself? Or are you gonna try to get better?
Conrad Roy: I can't get better I already made my decision.

unknown dates
Michelle Carter: How bad do you want? Because if you want it bad you should succeed.
Conrad Roy: I wish I could hold your hand through it.
Michelle Carter: I’d hold your had and cry with you and tell you how much I love you.
..
Michelle Carter: So it didn’t work? You said you wanted this bad. I knew you weren’t going to try hard. I feel like such an idiot. You didn’t ever do anything. You lied about the whole thing. You said you were gonna go to the woods I thought you really wanted to die. But apparently you don’t. I feel played and stupid.
Conrad Roy: I’ll prove you wrong.
..
Michelle Carter: Well you gonna do it tonight or not?
Conrad Roy: I don’t think I have it in me.
Michelle Carter: I knew it!
Conrad Roy: I’m too scared. You’re right I don’t have it in me.
Michelle Carter: Just swallow all of them . . . You purposefully took a low dosage because you don’t wanna die.
..
Michelle Carter: Hang yourself, jump off a building, stab yourself. I don’t know. There’s lots of ways.
..
Conrad Roy: How was your day?
Michelle Carter: When are you doing it?

Incitement to suicide
In 2017, a juvenile court in Massachusetts ruled that repeatedly encouraging someone to commit suicide was excluded from First Amendment protection

yes a bogus extraconstitutional [unconstitutional] ruling. might want to look up 'reserved' rights, if you want to understand why. Its one of those hidden directly in front of your face issues, they do not have jurisdiction.

How do you relate that to yelling "FIRE" in a crowded theater ? That is a noted exception to the first. It is also logical. Inciting panic when not justified is not a good thing to do, as abuse of any other rights. I have the right to have a gun because I am not a convicted felon, but does that give me the right to rob a bank ? Fuck no.

That "forgery" known as the Protocols had something to say about that - that freedom is an impossibility because nobody knows how to use it with discretion, or something to that effect. Strange how that thing can be so full of truths, because the fact is that as we trade the life of primitives for life in society we give up rights, quite a few in fact. The fact is that today people would not want freedom.

With freedom you are free to have ten kids and only three of them live. You are free to die of a disease that the local doctor can cure for ten bucks. You are free to die in a flood. That is freedom motherfucker, still want it ? You are free to buy this snake oil from a traveling salesman which consists of battery acid or whatever else, you are free to starve to death.

People do not really want freedom. My Father said that cities are people living off of each other and I am starting to think he was right. He just failed to include that all human society is pretty much like that, except for the most primitive.

But getting back to the subject, I will expound.

I want you all to go and take a hose from the exhaust from your car and pipe it into the car. Use duct tape to seal it. If you have one of those pussy cars that don't pollute enough go get something that does and put it in the car with you. I want you to run it until you are dead. Until YOU are dead, get it ?

Out of the thousands of people who can view this post, let's say ten decide they will do it.

Am I a mass murderer ? Killed ten people.

In fact, before that take your gun and shoot a bunch of people at random.

OBEY ME !

Does that make me responsible for your actions ?

T^T

You are ignoring the relationship between the kid and the girl, Termy.

Ten random people on this Forum have no relationship with you and would tell you to fuck off. But that is not what happened in the suicide sequence.
