I don't see how it would fit at all personally.

not at all, there is suspicion that they did something wrong, if the DA feels there is enough suspicion, it will go to trial, and if the jury agrees there was a crime committed, they will be found guilty, thats how the legal system works.

Umm perhaps you should bone up on your legal system. Suspicion doesn't lead to a trial. It leads to an investigation. Only when there is sufficient evidence that a crime was committed will it be passed to a grand jury for indictment and then possibly move to a jury trial.

I'm not saying they are guilty, I'm saying an investigation should look into whether or not they are responsible.

See here is why there will never be any charges filed. No one knows what state of mind the man was in prior to his stupid act. He could have been planning to hang himself anyway. There's no way to tell, because the key witness is dead. Good riddance.

I think it perfectly reasonable that there were people watching who were egging him on maliciously. And frankly, I can't fathom how you would egg someone on to suicide without malice. It's malicious whether you think the person in question is serious or not.
And again, I want to state that I'm not calling for the arrest of these people - just trying to stretch the ropes a bit.

Who cares if they did it with malice? I sure don't. They didn't put the rope in the guys hands or place the circumstances that lead to the event. Should I be charged with manslaughter because I don't care that he did it? Is that malice to the criminal degree? Of course it isn't. The laws are quite clear on manslaughter charges and none of these egging on statements propose that kind of criminal comtempt especially in the virtual world.
