Alex Carrington- Teen Gets Five Years to Life for Helping His Friend Commit Suicide

This article was written today by Steve Almasy regarding a 16-year-old girl named Jchandra Brown who hanged herself in Payson, Utah, while her friend Tyerell Przybycien recorded it on his cell phone. Her body was discovered the next day.  Przybycien was sentenced Friday, December 8, to between five years and life in prison as he plead guilty. 
      Prosecutors stated that Przybycien aided in Brown’s death through the purchase of the rode and the tying of the noose that Brown put around her neck. Przybycien also provided commentary as he recorded her last moments on a 10-minute video.
      He added that he hopes Brown's family will forgive him "for my immature and thoughtless and rash decisions."

      Both sides of the argument could agree that Przybycien was involved in Brown's death. The prosecution stated Brown wouldn't have killed herself if not for Przybycien's involvement, while his defense says Brown ultimately decided to end her life on her own terms.

      The case prompted Utah to pass a law this year making it illegal for someone to help another take their life. 

      This article’s topic relates to the genocide of the Jewish in Nazi Germany. Many people of this time sat back and watched while they knew what was happening was morally wrong.

  2. Chloe Meinershagen - This article saddens me, my sister's friend recently took his life, and to think that it could have been a situation like this, where someone was standing right there and assisting in the death of someone? Incredible sad.
