Makes it attempted murder. Sure not an a accidental push. Stupid cow.

From the article:

Jordan's mother has since revealed that the friend who pushed Jordan into the water is an adult.

'I'm very upset with her,' said the mother-of-four, who believes the woman should turn herself in. 'She is an adult, and I'm sure she should have known better.'

I would charge her with attempted murder and sue her and her family for medical expenses, for pain and suffering, and for loss of future income and enjoyment of life.

Do we need to know where the pusher is located on the hot/crazy matrix?

The crazy line in the usual matrix stops at "10".

Above "10" crazy, regardless of hotness, lies the "stay the hell away, keep your defensive weapons handy, and call the police" zone.

She's in the STHAKYDWHACTP Zone.

Please quit abusing the breaking/frontpage sidebars with sensationalism. This isn’t news. It’s chat.

Not even close to attempted murder. Stupid people, specifically the girl who was pushed, doing stupid things.

She may have been pushed but appears to have willingly ventured out onto the ledge in a bathing suit in a manner similar to many other YouTube teen bridge jumping videos.

Having read the backstory, it seems that: she was on the ledge with two other friends and all agreed to jump from the bridge. One of her friends had just jumped and she agreed to jump with the other friend, who I believe is the same friend who pushed her. She was hesitating, so the friend that pushed her starting counting down because others were waiting to jump. When the girl who was pushed balked, the pusher pushed when countdown hit zero.

Sounds like an acquittal on the most serious criminal charges, then...
