21. If they can prove someone convinced someone to kill him/herself, murder can be charged

The example I usually use is Kelly Gissendaner. She wanted her husband whacked, but didn't want to do it herself. She convinced Gregory Owen to kill him. She was proven to have orchestrated the murder, was charged with "malice murder," convicted, sentenced to death, and executed.

So...in this case the 12-year-old's companions talked him into playing Russian roulette. Murder is the appropriate charge.

But assault weapons like the AK-14 should be banned. No one needs a gun that can shoot Maraya1969 Nov 2022 #5
