Teen Encouraged Friend to Commit Suicide, Charged With Manslaughter

Teen Encouraged Friend to Commit Suicide, Police Say

Quote:

An 18-year-old girl has been charged with manslaughter for urging her friend to commit suicide.

Quote:

Carter's attorney, Joseph P. Cataldo, told the Standard-Times of New Bedford on Thursday night that the 18-year-old girl is innocent. "This is terrible tragedy – a young man taking his own life," he said. The district attorney's office "is trying to pin the blame on someone. I can't understand why they brought the charge." He added: "They're trying to claim there is manslaughter when they freely admit the boy took his own life. You can't have it both ways."

Interesting story. Not sure I agree with charging her.
