It's pretty obvious this girl is a complete piece of shit. And I agree with Keith that there's going to be no redemption of her life.

But I do disagree with the conviction of involuntary manslaughter. What actual law did she break? If her words convinced him to kill himself, then all of these are equally illegal:

- Why don't you just kill yourself?
- I really think you should buy a gun and kill yourself.
- I don't care if you say you'll kill yourself if we break up; it's over.

Yes, there is a difference between these and what the girl said, but I don't believe the legal system gets to draw that kind of distinction.
