      Question: Can suicides be classified under 1st degree murder with in intent to kill, a premeditated plan, the carrying out of the plan, the executing of the plan, with the only twist being that the perpetrator and the victim dwell in the same body?
      Or do we need to find an accomplice: the instigator of the desire to kill, the one who 'egged' the perpetrator on to kill the victim, and put them in court for second degree murder, as the Godfather/Mob boss behind the murder plot, where the victim did the dirty work for them, and they could just teflon it, so that no accusations can stick, and use omertà on any electronic paper trail to destroy any incriminating evidence?
