There has to be intent to encourage or assist suicide, so if D genuinely believes suicide is not a possibility then he could argue he didn't intend to encourage or assist it. Then again, you can still "encourage" someone to do something even though you don't believe they will. I think we'd need to see some case law to get a definite answer. | |
