I seriously don't know, I guess it could be an accidental murder but that's a stretch imo.

What do you mean by make them jump?
Are you telling them to go jump a bridge or are you basically forcing them to jump without physically touching them? -- BOP Results: http://charmander6000.webs.com/GotD%20BOP.xls Congratulations to Black Turtle for winning the guru contest. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Edit: I'm assuming you mean you scare someone and they jump up in fear and die somehow. Obviously, if you were, say, encouraging them to commit suicide, it would probably be a harder charge.

Assuming you are meaning you have them initiate an action that you do not know will have the consequence of their death, I do not see how you could label it as murder since you are not intentionally killing them by this method.
If, however, you are suggesting you are not murdering them because you never know if gravity will decide to work or not, then you would have a pretty good idea they would be killed and thus would be an indirect murder. -- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out ...

I don't know if I'm being trolled or not there.
You guys seriously don't know the expression? When like you hide in a closet and '' boo! '' someone to scare him/her. That's making someone jump. -- Best LPer ever, Gix ! : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt5YKmP7ecY ... Copied to Clipboard!

Except that literally making someone jump off, say, a bridge is a far more likely cause of death than just scaring someone.

I'd say no it wouldn't be murder unless you were trying to kill the person by scaring them.

Legally, it would probably be argued that you had no intention or reasonable idea that the action you took would lead to their death and it would be more an accident rather than full blown murder.
Now, if the person you 'jumped' was 70 and had a pacemaker, then perhaps the story would be different... -- There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out ... Copied to Clipboard!

Depends on intent. You very well could be charged with something of the sort, since it's implied you know that old people have weak hearts, and you probably can't provide a good reason for scaring somebody random. What if I want to spice up the everyday life of the people of my village by dressing up as a banshee at night to scare those who aren't asleep yet?

It'll depend whether you are targetting people or are just randomly scaring people.

If you scared someone and they died of heart attack I'd say you'd have a good argument against committing murder. But if they gasped and took a few steps back, say down a flight of stairs or off a ledge somewhere...then you're looking at hard time. Either way, you're looking at lawsuit. -- Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first woman she meets and then teams up with three complete strangers to kill again.
