Under California law, you can be convicted of a crime for “assisting, advising, or encouraging suicide.” However, for the prosecution to convict you of this crime, the prosecutor must have evidence of any of the following:
- You assisted another person in committing suicide
- You deliberately aided, advised, or encouraged another person to commit suicide
Regardless of your situation, you should consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney in Los Angeles or elsewhere in California. After all, being accused of encouraging suicide is not a joke.
