I am pretty sure they are more then ready to prosecuted someone for Murder in Cyber space. Prosecutors in the US have prosecuted people for cyber bullying. This leads to the mens rea, you'd never be able to prove that the PKers intended to cause actual harm to their victims, as again there is no way for them to know for sure that's what will happen, nor would you be able to prove that they intended so even if the players believed it.īasically, it would be a case so shaky that no prosecutor would be crazy enough to attempt to prosecute, and if they do, even a first year law student would be able to shred their case to pieces with his/her eyes closed. Since the killing of a video game avatar is not a criminal act in and of itself, you'd have a hard time arguing that it's a criminal act, especially when the players in game have no way of verifying that the act of killing an avatar actually kills the player. You would never be able to establish actus reus as no player actually carried out the actual killing act, which is done by NervGear and Kayaba's program. In order for a crime to occur, there needs to be both actus reus and mens rea, "guilty act" and "guilty mind" so to speak. I think murder even in cyber space is enough start a investigation. Unless they stated their names themselves, only a survivor of one of their attacks could spread their names. But fact is, PoH, Johnny Black and XaXa were pretty famous members of LC and their names were widely known. This is a plot hole, as no green or even orange player would make a party with red players. They will be under constant surveillance though. 8 'A Murder Case' there is a loop hole, that since their real bodies are unconscious, murdering in the game could not cause them to go to prison. I'm sure I read that orange players received the same treatment as red players, close monitoring+rehab. Remember that in SoA, unless you party with them, player name and guild name is HIDDEN from you. But honestly WHO remembered the name of the member of LC? I'm sure the story about LC will come to light. the question of what guild you belong to, does not seem important. In that session, The government only care on did you kill or not. People that killed before, depending on their age, either go to prison or a rehab ward. When the players are released from SoA, they all went through a physical and mental evaluation. And how difficult would it have been to get warrant? A group of people inside the game deliberately killed Players even they know there is a chance that person would died in real life - police in the US have gotten warrant for less then this.Īre you saying during the interview with the 6000+ survivors, not a single person mention LC and its activities? Info like the LC would have struck out like a sore thumb. I assume the survivors would be interview about what happen inside the SAO. Like Chrysheight said, the SOA survivor list doesn't list their guild name. And since the situation is a bit surreal (player killed in game died in real life) explaining it would be a hassle.Įdit: the government doesn't know that PoH is the leader of Laughing Coffin. and he didn't tell anyone about it.Īnd like Chrysheight said, they need a warrant to do that. Kirito only found out about it at the end of vol 5. But they don't have any reason to shake them down.īecause they don't have any connection between and. The government are keeping a record of their addresses that's true. Why not (before GGO) shake him down for a list of the rest of the group that survive. They know PoH is the leader of the group and they know who he is in real life. I would think the government would still want to put tabs on the group in real life. Even if all the blame were place on Kayaba. There were about 12 survivors of the group. Thus, we can't find his name and address in the real world just by knowing that he was originally a member of «Laughing Coffin».” The data the Virtual Division has on SAO players were the real names, character names and final levels. Kikouka raised his arms to comfort Asuna, but blinked as if he noticed something and then shook his head weakly, There has to be a warrant from the court before we can do these, but it will take quite some time to explain the entire situation.” You can find the real address and name of this player who called himself Death Gun, right? It's not easy, but if we list out all the survivors of «Laughing Coffin» and then checking whether their houses were linked to the GGO server, or if you ask the contracted network server to provide data.” However, I can't just let Kirito fight alone against this sworn enemy. “Chrysheight.I don't know how Death Gun killed. ![]() ![]() ![]() So why didn't the authorities arrest him and get a list of the LC survivors? What happen to him? The have his user name and the corresponding list of User Name/Real Life name. Regarding the leader of the Laughing Coffin.
