I read in the newspaper about a woman who encouraged her boy friend to commit suicide and now she's on trial for his murder. The two saw very little of each other in person and communicated mostly by text and email. Investigators picked up her phone and laptop for confirmation. She continually texted him and encouraged him go ahead with suicide.
On the last day of his life, he was in his truck breathing carbon monoxide when he texted the girl friend. She told him to do it. When he stepped out of the truck, she told him to get back in the truck and finish the job. He did as she told him. It was thought she wanted to get attention by being a grieving girlfriend. I didn't understand how she originally came under suspicion. But it was all on her phone and laptop. Now she's charged with murder.
What do you think about the murder charge?

@Jumaronalds I don't think that was it. He had his girlfriend trying to get him to kill himself.

Yes she should be charged and more.
What an evil woman. RIP that man who could not free himself of her.

@crazyhorseladycx You would think so. But maybe it's murder or nothing.

good for her. she actually murdered her boyfriend. maybe the boy was rich? or depressed? what is the reason, i don't know, but people who are easily swayed by others have poor foundation.

@RubyHawk maybe the man is severely depressed, while the woman is a maniac.

@ridingbet You are likely right. They were both unbalanced or it wouldn't have happened.

@RubyHawk their personalities and behavior supplement each other.

She is obviously guilty. It is said that she couldn't have been a better friend to him.

@RubyHawk ......No, we sure don't need 'friends' like that in this life.

Hum, that's a hard question. Maybe accessory to murder, but she didn't murder him and each human has free will. I saw this on Facebook the other day.

@RubyHawk I've never known anyone in that type of situation so I can only give me opinion. I don't think I would kill myself if you told me to.

@AbbyGreenhill Neither would I. But I like to think I'm not unbalanced. Both of these people had problems.

Yes, she should be charged, she is basically telling someone who would appear to be unstable to kill them self.. Instead of trying to help them . She didn't provide him with the supplies to do it but she told him and didn't try and stop him.

I'm torn about this. Telling someone to kill themselves is not really the same as actually killing them. If we're going to start charging people for crimes based on their mere words, then 99% of this nation wold be locked up behind bars. But on the other hand, if she knew he was in the actual process of killing himself, and did nothing to try and stop it, then I think she should at least be charged as an accessory to murder.

@RubyHawk I think I will agree with you there. At that point, she should have been rendering first aid to him and/or calling the authorities for assistance. Does that woman not have a soul, to actually encourage someone to take their own life? Or was their relationship just that bad?

@RubyHawk Well, if she's looking for attention, she's certainly getting it. And pretty soon she'll be getting lots of attention from behind bars.

How could she be charged of murder when the man was so stupid why followed the foolish advise of his girlfriend. The man should have thought the girl did not like him anymore. He should have been wise, poor guy, poor reasoning.

Perhaps it is not logical, but I think this girl is guilty. She is his girl friend rather than common friend. And even if she doesn't stop or do anything to avoid it, she should not encourage him to kill himself. I don't know what's wrong with this girl. She is sick.

I think she is charged with manslaughter, but yeah, what she did was terrible. Some people on the internet have done the same thing, but they got away with it.

I think she is guilty and should rot in prison so she can't do this to another person. What a horrible person she is.

Criminal Negligent Homicide will probably be the charge in the end @RubyHawk . She was definitely a cold bit**.
