Topic: Voodoo death curse - illegal?

Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago #8,925

If you went to a voodoo practictioner and asked them to put a deathcurse on somebody you hated, could the court make a reasonable case for attempted murder? I'm talking about a straight vocal incantation, no potions, poisons or whatever.

Depends where you live, most likely.

No, because:
1. It won't happen.
2. It has never happened.

Let's say he happens to die in the same week/month/year/decade as said curse. And he dies from getting hit by a bus, or a heart attack, or a sword-related mishap. He would have died from that, not some weird guy or gal taking money from the gullible and saying bullshit.

Enjoy your magic ghost games and have a nice day.

If you shoot a gun at someone and miss, it's still attempted murder (depending on where you were aiming, I think).

Why is this different? You are attempting to kill someone.

You would probably get off on mental illness if you were actually charged with that.
