Aiding another in a suicide attempt, or causing another person to attempt suicide, is a felony crime in Rochester.
Cases of Promoting a Suicide Attempt (NY PL 120.30) are often highly charged, because the allegation is so frequently that a spouse or other family member provided assistance to a victim with significant, painful, and terminal health conditions.
Doctors can also be charged under NY PL 120.30, and in the increasingly connected world of the internet age, the statute could also be applied in cases of cyber-bullying, or real life bullying that results in a suicide attempt.
At Friedman & Ranzenhofer, we understand the complexity and deep emotional resonance of cases charged under the statute, and can provide the most capable defense available in Rochester.
