Girl Found Guilty Of Encouraging Boy Friend To Commit Suicide-By Text Message

According to Findlaw website, assisting a suicide is a crime:

As of December, 2012, it is illegal in every state for a non-medical professional to assist someone else's suicide.
[h=3]What is Considered Assisted Suicide?[/h] 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.
 
We had one of those about 8 or so years ago. He had a website set up to guide people through the process and even asked them to put it on his webcam, so he could watch. What a sick mind. He started out by going into a chat room for depressed people and picked out someone who he thought was very vulnerable. The victim happened to be a male. The moron pretended to be a very lovely young lady who he shared pictures with. He talked the fellow into committing suicide together. He convinced his victim that he should go first, just in case something went wrong, she (he) wouldn't make the same mistake. The victim went through with it.

After doing a complete and thorough investigation, including using computer forensics, our guys got him. Penalty: Life + 22 years w/o parole. There is justice, but unfortunately, no one can bring back the dead to make things right.
