[@stegomasaurus6737]

I like that the Pacifist% series is being used as a reference, although there are some pretty insane lengths taken to avoid many of the kills. For instance, mercilessly terrorizing a man in a car for hours until he gets himself run over.

[@CakesAreNotTruths]

the pacifist route is used as many kills can easily be skipped by the player

[@stegomasaurus6737]

@CakesAreNotTruths I know that's why it's used, I just want to draw attention to how ridiculously hard it is to do sometimes because it makes Pacifist% worth checking out.

I would give Michael a manslaughter charge for Jay Norris because he was following Lester's instructions, and Michael didn't know that the device he put in the phone was a bomb (hence his reaction when he dialed the number)

[@n0m4r22]

how is manslaughter any different from first degree murder?

[@infinity_road]

@@n0m4r22 I looked up on google and the first one that pop up said "Murder is the intentional killing of another person, while manslaughter is the unintentional killing of another. Murder carries the distinction of being planned prior to the crime being committed. Therefore, it is considered a more serious crime and carries a heavier penalty." so there you have it

[@D4rkKn1ght311]

Its also grand larceny and domestic terrorism which carries a life sentence at a supermax prison.

[@catweird.]

Clearly he considers the freighter option canon

[@goliathcleric]

One thing to remember that would have been really important for the lawyer's death: There is a thing called the felony murder rule. If you're committing an inherently dangerous felony, such as reckless endangerment at an airport or whatever that charge would have been, and someone dies during it, you are guilty of murder. Intent or cause doesn't matter, if they die during your crime, it is your murder. So the lawyer would have been a murder charge, no questions asked.

[@thecactusman17]

And importantly, this is the law in California. So it would absolutely be the law in Los Santos.

[@catweird.]

Involuntary manslaughter includes reckless endangerment so it can't be felony murder

Such a great series. I subbed to Matt's channel from Pacifist #18.

[@petrkdn8224]

I'd kinda argue, with the DVAU Pacifist series, is that, he himself when the player is controlling him, doesn't kill anyone... when he is for example playing as Trevor or Franklin along Michael in a mission, Michael can still kill people while the player isn't controlling him, so then it didn't count for the pacifist series... thats one minor flaw here

[@emily1]

4:58 Probably would’ve racked up more charges under the following headings Manslaughter (and probably the most definitive I can think of); despite depiction, ship crews do generally stay aboard a ship, even in a small capacity but a short layover there were defo people aboard other than the merryweather load. It’s very safe to assume anyone in their engine room or below decks got out alive considering there wasnt much evacuation. Causing a maritime disaster/wreck; They literally sank a massive ship. Someone would have to root through law for something similar to apply from when Schettino got it for the Concordia Mass pollution; ships leak fuel. It’s no secret and they would both harm the wildlife and cause a serious cleanup, would probably cause a fine rather than jailtime tho.

[@yankeegaming8580]

In the private jet mission, where Michael shoots it down. By the time the plane crashes down, both of the pilots died except for the Martin Madrazo grunt that was about to snitch, when then Trevor promptly kills. So in a way, Michael deserves plus two life sentences for killing the two pilots cuz he shoot down the plane.

[@totalcreativegaming6681]

When it comes to the Jay Norris situation, Michael should probably get 2nd Degree murder as it was Lester who ordered the hit… and by the sounds of Michael’s reaction, he probably wasn’t expecting that phone to kill Norris.

[@cooker0rats]

2:17 despite it being planned out and executed i dont know if it would count as first degree murder (at least on Michaels part) since despite carrying out the murder he had no idea that he was going to kill someone

[@RamdomView]

10:43 The director's death could be ruled as a manslaughter or as a felony murder since her death resulted from Micheal's own dangerous actions.

[@anthonyminimum]

2:10 This would be conspiracy to murder because Lester specifically told Michael to carry out the plan for him. If you do Lester, both him and Michael would receive life sentences if they were convicted.

@Sahir_Here Why? Because the perspective just so happens to be over their shoulders? Just because the audience/player is viewing from their lens or (litterly) playing from their perspective, it does not make any of these kinds of character's deeds any less evil/wrong/harmful/etc. I mean, we are talking about people who murder, rob, cause destruction, lots of intentional or unintentional suffering, among many more. You can't possibly draw a grey line over that. Sure, Micheal, Franklin, and even Trevor have good qualities that set them apart from characters like Devon Weston, but the same thing could be said about other characters who are still classified as villains. An example of this would be Mr. Freeze from DC, though his tragic background and desire to save his wife Nora earn him some sympathy and are indeed good qualities, people still categorise and recognise him as a villain, because his evil deeds outweigh his good.
