Please explain 1. He was facing 35 years (if he lost) and would be labeled a felon losing his right to vote and aspirations of working in politics. How is that misunderstood? Other than being a smug cunt, you haven't actually said anything that refuted what I said. I've given you data and reason to explain why someone would kill themselves in a similar situation but you are caught up on your own definition of normal (being 50.1%) which I also refuted earlier. So I'm going to go with my earlier statement: You are just a smug cunt, and you enjoy it. I wasn't trolling no, but I was/am clearly being trolled. Well done.

Oh dear moody moody moody. 1. He was facing 6 months for a plea bargain. Several other lawyers have already commented here how felony charges are listed sequentially as maximum sentencing but that is not how years are applied. It is now becoming boring to have to school you. 2. You have given absolutely fuck all data to support anything of interest. Please provide the data that says people facing a criminal trial have a tendanecy to kill themselves. Let's forget "normal" etc. Just a tendency will be sufficient. 3. I am smug. I am smug because a prick like you decided to try and nitpick my comment and you embarrased yourself. 4. I didn't troll. You are just wrong. Suicide is not normal. Schwarz killing himself was not normal. The end.

    You are clearly a moron. Not just wrong but an out and out moron. Posting a link to a story from the Daily Mail is the argumentative equivalent of shooting yourself in the face. Widely regarded as the worst newspaper in the United Kingdom. Please don't respond. You are seriously embarrassing yourself.

      The same information is in the documentary, and wikipedia. And actually happened in real life, regardless of where you source the information from.

        ...and how has that backed up anything you have said? I already know Schwarz killed himself. I already know the prosecutor was zealous. So, either post the aggregated data that shows accused parties kill themselves prior to trial or simply STFU. I am not joking it really is embarrassing for you.

        > So, either post the aggregated data that shows accused parties kill themselves prior to trial or simply STFU. Is that how debate works, you posit a random ultimatum or else discussion over. Interesting, explains a lot though. Schwartz and James, both killed themselves while under prosecution. James specifically called out the prosecution (and his impending conviction) as the reason for his suicide (in a suicide note). An honest question, do you think it just random chance that two people facing similar charges by the same prosecutor both killed themselves?

        I couldn't care if the prosecutor killed them with his bare hands. You disagreed that suicide is abnormal. Post the data that suggests suicide is normal and stop running from your earlier statements.

        > You disagreed that suicide is abnormal. Well that was actually in the other thread, this one I just said you lacked empathy to understand the situation, I've now pointed out someone in exactly the same position made exactly the same choice. So even if you lack empathy, you can understand it just from a logical point of view: "Hmm, pressure from prosecutors can make people kill themselves. Interesting phenomena". Back to the "normal" arguement: I've posted that in the context of a prosecution that was handing down a sizable sentence (Probably not as high as 35) but not as low as 6 months (which is what you said), Suicide is a fairly understandable outcome. I gave you the links in wikipedia, and showed you two cases where it happened. Now is normal == understandable?
