[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ETA if I'm the victim's family I'd file civil suit against this guy. Who cares if he has assets. He deserves it, and they'd win.[/quote]

Civil suit for what? Mental abuse isn’t illegal in this country. There is the girl who told her boyfriend to kill himself repeatedly and was convicted though.

Precisely. That case created significant precedent, whether you agree with it or not, of culpability without direct cause.

This isn't about mental abuse, although he was certainly engaging in that. It's about him setting up the dominos to be knocked down.

Male cyclist engages in a relationship with both women, serially lies to his live-in partner, partner makes verbal statements threatening the life of the decedent, male cyclist purchases firearms *at that time*, fatal shooting occurs.

The utility of a successful civil case may be moot, as it won't bring the woman back. My point is that the family has a (civil, not criminal) case against the guy, and it hooks into our country's bonkers relationships with firearms. You add a gun into a situation like this and it punts everyday domestic drama into an active volcano.[/quote]

I think you'd have a better chance getting him convicted of intimate partner abuse than having him convicted as a quasi-gun owner. He didn't take her to target practice and have her hit a bulls eye with the other woman. She did that all on her own.[/quote]
