“These shock jocks are screwed in civil OR criminal law. Foreseeability of a special weakness is no excuse.”

By that logic if someone were to (God forbid) kill themselves immediately after reading this post I could be brought up on charges.

Good luck convincing a jury that she killed herself because of the call and not some other cause.

To: Brooklyn Attitude

did your post cause the person to kill themselves? if the answer is yes then yes IF it can be proven.

The DJ’s have the liability and a case can be brought to court. Proof sufficient to carry the burden standard is a different issue altogether.

That is eggshell skull principle.

It is looooooooooong established in the courts.
