re: Woman guilty of involuntary manslaughter after pressuring b/f to commit suicide - link&pic

This was a young man with troubles that weighed heavily upon him who confided and trusted in her.

While this is factually correct. Dude researched his death, attempted suicide several times, each time panicking and changing his mind during the process. While the chicks actions are vile, and reprehensible, he was going to kill himself regardless at some point. She just pushed him over the last time he changed his mind. That's what got her convicted. Had she not said that stuff, and he just killed himself, she walks. And likely wouldn't have been charged. This guy was deeply deeply disturbed and conflicted. He needed serious psychological help. I am not even sure that would have helped him live.

I don't absolve him of blame, but he swung open the door that could have saved him and she slammed it back in his face. What she did was absolutely sadistic all so she could get the attention of being the girl whose boyfriend committed suicide.

This is why she got convicted.
