Of course no psychologist in the world would disagree that the person(s) that someone writes in a suicide note are responsible for them taking their own life should be 'indicted' for their death.

So... let me get this straight. If I say that rock music made me sacrifice cats, I could sue the artists for their contribution to my behavior?

Oh perish the thought of one having responsibility for one's own actions.
