Where does she fall on the crazy/hot line?

[More Kirk Less Spock]

I think she'll win on appeal. I'm not saying she isn't despicable as she's as horrible as they come. However, I don't know that morality is something that can be really judged as a criminal act. Can it be proven he wouldn't have actually done what he did without her text messages? Dude was obviously messed up and needed help.

If she is guilty then we start getting into the territory of no responsibility. All one would have to argue is someone kept telling me to do something so I did. Therefore, nothing can be my fault.

I don't like it but I don't see this ruling standing up in the long run.

Exceedingly reckless behavior can be a crime.

How do we know that it was her words that pushed him over the edge? We can make an assumption, but guesses aren't facts. Do I think she deserves some form of punishment? Yes I do. What form and to what extent I'm not sure.

This guy was on an awful path for a long time with or without his girlfriend. I truly believe he would have done this without her urging.
