| from the article, he has been arrested for "solicitation to commit murder", which sounds like exactly what you're talking about. But that's probably because of the possible intent to kill children. It's legal to commit suicide in most (all?) states, and these people are (as I understand it) considered to be "consenting adults", who have made their decision independently. As long as he wasn't using emotional/physical/economic coercion, the adults are probably assumed to have made the decision freely, hence to assume the responsibility for their deaths. |
