Question

If a family sues a rock band after their teenager (for example) committed suicide and the family attempted to blame the rock music as the causality for the suicide, as a Psychologist called to testify in such a case, what information would you relay to the jury? Is the rock band responsible for the decedent's suicide? Why or why not?

A good case reference as it relates to this topic: JP

Answer 1

Do not know how many have seen the movie ROCK ON-2. Where the lead character brother commit suicide because he wanted to be a singer with that band and wanted them to sample the singing style. It was the frustration and anger or agitation which made him feel a failure and lead to such action.

I truly believe that only individual is responsible for one behavior or action with the effect of nature and nurture. might be possible that person has some other condition which is not stated here.

So therefore before putting up the case to jury we need to have to understand;

- Past history of such attempt

- Behaviour pattern in various situation.

- Lifestyle

- Hobbies or passion or dream

- People note who are near to him. Observation.
