Brae Hansen - told her brother her step father was abusing her and convinced him to kill him.

Pamela Smart - convinced her student/lover to kill her husband so they could be together.

Both sentenced to life - didn't physically kill anyone...manipulated someone else to do it.




Difference between murder and suicide.


Is it that different ?

Doubt the victims' families think so

Trust me, I am all about personal responsibility - ultimately it was his decision to take his own life ...

But when you have someone that is already unstable and having irrational thoughts and you come along and tell them they're right, their family would be better off without them, and they should kill themselves to do everyone a favor - instruct them how- follow up to make sure it's done - scold them when they tell you they changed their mind and can't do it - remind them again how they're doing the "right thing" for "everyone" - and literally harass them until they finally go through with it --

You don't get to pretend you share no responsibility for the loss of a life




Still it was only words. She didn't hand him a loaded gun.

If we're gonna lock up everyone who told a suicidal person they should kill themselves our jails are gonna have more than an overcrowding problem...
By established case law if u put someone in danger ur responsible in intervining. The judge determine at the point she told him to get back in the car( already with carbon monoxide) she put him into that toxic situation now she is responsible to get help

Incorrect. He put HIMSELF in that situation. If someone tells me to put myself in danger I would only do so IF I WANTED TOO.

I personally see a huge difference between saying "kill yourself" in a heated exchange vs what she did ...thankfully I'm not the only one who saw it that way

she sounds like a very intelligent manipulative young woman who has no conscience of human life or does she care.

well whatever, I just hope the justice system does their job. and focus on what's important.

not on any manipulative bullshit that they try to go around on.



edit



I didn't even read much on the article but, it sounds like she got into this guy's head and fucked him up badly.

someone should have protected him.

She made a suggestion. He DECIDED to take his own life.

I have no doubt she is a shitty person but she didn't commit murder. This is a witch hunt.


you can commit murder by that kind of manipulative tactic.

look at Jim Jones.

he convinced people to drink.

how the hell did he do that?

they did it willingly.

and people call it mass murder.

Not the same thing whatsoever.

He provided the cyanide laced juice and then asked them to drink.

He didn't just tell them to kill themselves he also provided the means.

Thinking back to how many times I've seen spousal arguments where one demanded the other (while intoxicated) to GTFO and go somewhere else.

If that person kills someone in the process (manslaughter), would the person whom demanded they GTFO also be culpable?

If two friends in a car are driving around and the passenger is urging the driver to drive erratically.. and they accidentally hit and kill someone while doing so.. is the passenger also culpable and guilty of manslaughter?

It's a slippery slope
Isn't it that in this case (Carter) the individual repeatedly and coercively did this, rather than it being just a heated or off-hand remark? The sustained application of pressure.
Was he not all ready depressed and suicidal?

Every day bars and restaurants serve alcohol to folks putting well above the legal limit to drive. When that person leaves and drives home drunk.. in turn killing someone in the process.. it the bar/restaurant culpable?

Not even remotely related

I never said she wasn't a bad person. In fact I said she was shitty somewhere around page 2.

But she isn't responsible for his suicide.

You can't push someone to death with words unless they really don't want to be alive in the first place.

I don't know, there are really highly intelligent people (who don't take drugs) and they can convince someone to do anything.

look at Charles manson.

Hitler, and if you notice a lot of serial killers have very high I.Q.

they have this ability to destroy someone or choose to do right and not.

but in their cases, some are mentally disturbed, have mental illness/psychotic,

or they are just full of hate and putridness and take revenge, like, that of Ted budny who wanted to kill women and destroy them, take their lust and desire, and dreams thinking they have found a good looking man who will love them, and he murders them.

it doesn't matter. it's still murder.

you can convince someone and they will kill themselves.

I am not too adept with law and the ins and outs of it, but i'm sure there is something in the law books about that.

and for us mortals here who aren't lawyers, we just know by conscience and having humanity you don't do that shit.

Pamela Smart - convinced her student/lover to kill her husband so they could be together.

Both sentenced to life - didn't physically kill anyone...manipulated someone else to do it.




Difference between murder and suicide.


Is it that different ?

Doubt the victims' families think so

Trust me, I am all about personal responsibility - ultimately it was his decision to take his own life ...

But when you have someone that is already unstable and having irrational thoughts and you come along and tell them they're right, their family would be better off without them, and they should kill themselves to do everyone a favor - instruct them how- follow up to make sure it's done - scold them when they tell you they changed their mind and can't do it - remind them again how they're doing the "right thing" for "everyone" - and literally harass them until they finally go through with it --

You don't get to pretend you share no responsibility for the loss of a life




Still it was only words. She didn't hand him a loaded gun.

If we're gonna lock up everyone who told a suicidal person they should kill themselves our jails are gonna have more than an overcrowding problem...
Thinking back to how many times I've seen spousal arguments where one demanded the other (while intoxicated) to GTFO and go somewhere else.

If that person kills someone in the process (manslaughter), would the person whom demanded they GTFO also be culpable?

If two friends in a car are driving around and the passenger is urging the driver to drive erratically.. and they accidentally hit and kill someone while doing so.. is the passenger also culpable and guilty of manslaughter?

It's a slippery slope
Right!?

If words alone are so powerful than our President needs to be locked up for rape at the very least.


thing is I get the feeling a lot of people don't take him seriously.

like he has a clown.
So if he told all the libtards in the country to kill themselves tonight.. and they all actually do it..

Is he culpable? Or is he still just a clown?

there's something about him where you just know you can't take that mouth seriously.

and when you can tell you can.

it's highly offensive though. I don't like it. but the u.s. majority hired him.

Example if you see a person drowning in the river u have no legal reason to intervene u can watch them die n still no legally obligated , morally another thing

But if u bumped into them n caused them to fall u watch n not seeking help puts u in legal responsibility
She didn't open the door and push him into the car. She merely told him too.

Not the same thing whatsoever.

He chose to jump, he wasn't physically pushed.
she was responsible for his life.


How so?

She's responsible for her own life and him for his.
I don't know, there are really highly intelligent people (who don't take drugs) and they can convince someone to do anything.

look at Charles manson.

Hitler, and if you notice a lot of serial killers have very high I.Q.

they have this ability to destroy someone or choose to do right and not.

but in their cases, some are mentally disturbed, have mental illness/psychotic,

or they are just full of hate and putridness and take revenge, like, that of Ted budny who wanted to kill women and destroy them, take their lust and desire, and dreams thinking they have found a good looking man who will love them, and he murders them.


Right.

But none of those examples are even remotely the same as this case.

Those were mirdering rapists sociopaths. This is a young girl who TOLD her boyfriend/ex/whatever to end his life.

Murder does not = suicide.


it doesn't matter. it's still murder.

you can convince someone and they will kill themselves.

I am not too adept with law and the ins and outs of it, but i'm sure there is something in the law books about that.

and for us mortals here who aren't lawyers, we just know by conscience and having humanity you don't do that shit.

click to expand

If that's the case we need to lock up every person who has ever told someone suicidal that they should end it.

Instead of focusing on real criminals.

Crazy how it's words over actions with you guys. What about 1st Ammendment rights?

By established case law if u put someone in danger ur responsible in intervining. The judge determine at the point she told him to get back in the car( already with carbon monoxide) she put him into that toxic situation now she is responsible to get help

I
Incorrect. He put HIMSELF in that situation. If someone tells me to put myself in danger I would only do so IF I WANTED TOO.

Dear, would you tell a struggling alcoholic to go to the bar to make new friends?

Would you encourage a drug addict to go hang out on skid row?

Or if someone is threatening suicide by jumping off a building or the Golden Gate, would you stand there and tell them to jump, that they would be better off doing so?

"Just words" is a piss poor excuse to say this chick isn't responsible.

Dude had serious psychological issues and she was preying on that weakness to have some control over the situation. The fact you think she's not responsible for any of the psycho shit she did is disturbing. I agree that it may not be 10-20 years worthy when rapists get less, but she DOES have responsibility in this situation and should be punished. That kid was having second thoughts, but she continued to manipulate him into doing it. His parents would still have their son if she hadn't meddled.

What we should really be discussing is how the price of life is not as high as we all thought it is was. This young ladies actions and the responses from those that are defending her proves this.

The reason why it is murder is because it's a fact that depression will cause brain damage just like alcohol.

Depression impairs you... Just like alcohol.

Would you tell a drunk person to walk into a busy street with cars going 45-65 miles per hour?


Would I be charged with conspiracy to commit murder if I did?
Dude, I don't like going in circles. You can't tell me her intent wasn't to kill him. Repetitive text messages, insisting, pressuring him, guilt tripping him, using his family etc. The list goes on.

I've already stated my position. I don't want to keep going in circles.

That's his usual go to, yet proclaims himself this great debater. Talking in circles =/= great anything. Just good at manipulating people into thinking you're right when you're clearly wrong.

GUILTY

They are citing

State ex rel. Kuntz v. Montana Thirteenth Judicial Dist. Court, 2000 MT 22, 298 Mont. 146, 154, 995 P.2d 951 (2000)

that says "where one's actions create a life-threatening risk to another, there is a duty to take reasonable steps to alleviate the risk."


I'm honestly glad. She pushed him repeatedly with her texts and even seemed to get upset that he didn't kill him self. Who knows what she verbally said to him during the phone calls. I. An only imagine based off the written texts.

You are offering them the means to commit a crime.. be it accidentally killing someone while drunk behind the wheel or themselves.

I thought a bar/bartender could be held culpable if they kept serving someone that was impaired and they in turn hurt or kill another? If it was proven they knew yet kept pouring... maybe not I don't know much about law tbh.

Are they legally obligated to call the police and inform them of someone who just left while intoxicated?

She should've gotten tried before a jury. I would've let her walk.
really. she shouldn't walk anywhere, she needs prison sentence, not long one, but enough to really get it through her fuked up brain, that there is something very deeply wrong with her

i don't want her or people like her in our society

Yes lets send her to prison and turn her into an ACTUAL criminal. Prison doesn't rehabilitate, it traps and enslaves.

If you did tell and encourage any of these actions, while it makes you a shitty human being, it doesn't make you responsible for that person's choices.

My pity level for this girl who told her dying boyfriend to get back in the car and finish killing himself is pretty low. Those up in arms about her conviction are probably nervous because they're equally shitty people and worried about the 13 reasons why they could inadvertedly become responsible for someone else's death. Damn, do better.

My pity level for this girl who told her dying boyfriend to get back in the car and finish killing himself is pretty low. Those up in arms about her conviction are probably nervous because they're equally shitty people and worried about the 13 reasons why they could inadvertedly become responsible for someone else's death. Damn, do better.
inadvertently: without intention; accidentally.

What wasn't intentional about what she did?

She accidentally urged him to kill himself?
