DP. If he died from an infection (I haven't seen anything that specific), then it was a complication of his original injuries sustained in the assault.

Unless something else caused it. People get infections (and die from them) all the time due to things like hospital exposure and improper hand washing, even when they’re not in permanent vegetative states. It’s not something unique to that condition.

Walking down that street was the last decision that Ryan made for himself. After his assault he was rendered completely helpless, immobile, unconscious, unaware. That is no life. His body is now dead but he lost his life 10 years ago.

“I can’t make any arguments based in actual law, so I’m going to keep repeating the same thing in increasing hysterical and inflammatory fashion.”

From a policy perspective, we want closure and we don't want crimes to linger over someone for years or indefinitely. That's why we have statutes of limitation. But murder is different. There's no statute of limitations for murder. The common law year and a day rule can be extended, especially in these circumstances with the victim in a persistent vegetative state.

And West Virginia is free to overturn that rule whenever they like. Apparently they haven't felt the need to do so.

But do go on about the victim’s death being attributed to a cold.

There's actual legal precedent on this, and it's not what you want it to be.

Is that not harassment?
You got to let go.
Law doesn't always work out right. We cannot prosecute every one who was in a fight 10 years ago. The cause of death could be anything, people grow old and die, make poor health and diet decisions, have undiagnosed medical conditions

Let it go. Revenge is futile

He had no ability to keep himself alive. His parents did that for him in the hopes that modern medicine might one day come up with a miracle cure for him. I totally understand why his parents did what they did. But from the moment those young men brutally assaulted him the chances of Ryan living a normal lifespan disappeared - he was going to die young. He never recovered because it was impossible for him to recover.

The last decision Ryan made for himself was taunting a bunch of people he thought wouldn't respond. Not that their response was okay, but he was not just walking down the street minding his own business when two guys jumped him out of the blue.

That’s already the case, the Divineys have made sure of it through their ongoing campaign for retribution.

This is like pushing someone who can’t swim off a boat in the ocean and saying they died from drowning, not the push.
