- State v Sexson- (FACTS) husband and wife have a suicide pact. ∆ holds the gun in place and wife pulls the trigger. He was guilty of murder. Participated in the final act.
- How many steps does the decedent have to take???
- Abuse? Was there actual duress, fraud, or deception? Test must show that there was no reasonable means of abuse.
- The more steps one must take the less likely they are doing it at another’s command.
- Pure passage of time
- Physical presence of alleged ∆
- Physician Assisted Suicide (PAS)
- Most who are against issue is due to reasons of abuse…
- Why would they want to manipulate the vulnerable state of patients
- Was there pride on the part of doctor for their inability to cure
- Financial aspects die quickly to save survivors the financial burden
- This pressure doesn’t constitute physical pressure.
