Reply to comment by [deleted] in N.Y. to pay $5.5 million to man exonerated in writer Alice Sebold rape case by OutsideObserver2

No, I said coerce. The prosecutor doesn't have to pursue everything anyone asks. I can't just walk over to the city prosecutor's office and demand they lock up my neighbor. Their job is to determine whether something can and should be prosecuted. A victim can't be expected to make those decisions impartially.

You think that's an equivalent analogy?

Word choice is important, big guy.

Apart from the fact that this is a shitty analogy, the answer to your question is clearly nope, you wouldn't be at fault at all if you simply asked me to kill someone (without coercion) and I'm the one that went and killed them. DUH. What kind of lunatic would suggest otherwise?
