I realize that you are struggling with understanding my point.

I will try to respond to your post in a way that makes it easy for you to comprehend.

Jennifer Wilbanks is responsible if her ACTIONS cause a REACTION.

If I was driving down the highway and decided to take my hands off the wheel for a second to grab an item from the back seat, and as a result drifted into the other lane, CAUSING the driver in the other car to swerve off the road so as to avoid me, and he got into a wreck, you can bet your bottom that I'd be liable.

It will certainly be interesting to see how this story unfolds in Georgia. If the state doesn't have a leg to stand on, the case should be dismissed in short order, I would imagine.

Now, does that help you? I hope so, because if it doesn't you have my sympathy.

Not necessarily. If her actions were not criminal (and she commited no crime until she called the NM PD) she can't be held responsible for the reaction of others. That would be like prosecuting me for manslaughter if I told someone at DU that they were a moron and in response, they commited suicide.
