Any word if the attorneys on each side are consulting with an English teacher on how to argue this case? Is it "You IS accused." Or "You ARE accused."?

So, he graduated five months earlier.

Another Link to Story.

Quote:
You is currently in Korea, Rollins said. Officials are working with her representative and are "cautiously optimistic" that she will voluntarily return to Boston, but if not, they will pursue other avenues in an effort to have her extradited back.

The involuntary manslaughter charge You faces is the same one Michelle Carter was convicted of in 2017 in connection with her boyfriend Conrad Roy III's suicide. Carter began serving her 15-month sentence in February and was denied parole last month.

The article actually said commencement which I assumed to mean graduation,maybe he was supposed to speak a commencement or something,but he died in Roxbury a part of Boston

They do this in Georgia too. I actually don’t think she was the only person that could have been involved in the suicide, but they probably charged her with it because that may have the only evidence they could get.

Some people do queerbaiting, and it’s pretty sick to even think that something like that could exist.

This is local news for me and I have not read or heard of anyone else being implicated in this case.

Bizarre?

The earlier article doesn't specify why Urtala was suicidal? he seemed to be a gifted biology graduate and researcher?

https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/healt ... 4721c0efd6
This link suggest You was physically and mentally abusive sending 75,000 texts many of which pressuring Urtala to kill himself

Any chance this b***h may go into hiding in Korea? extradition?

Yes.

In America, freedom of speech is in our Constitution.

This case will affect euthanasia advocates like Dr. Kevorkian, who may repeatedly counsel people -- who want to kill themselves --- on how to kill themselves.

If speech that encourages suicide is illegal, then their speech alone may be enough to convict them.
