    Default Can You be Criminally Prosecuted for Defaming Somebody in Another Country

    My question involves defamation in the state of: If defamation or slander is committed intentionally know to cause or try to cause ones death in another country can somebody be extradited to the U.S. for criminal charges?

    And if this is quoted from someone else what could the criminal charges be for quoting someone and posting through social media with no real evidence

    How exactly does a defamatory statement cause someone's death?

    The answer is most definitely not. But you would have to check with the country where this happened. It didn't happen in the US.

    Nothing.
    I agree with your responses here but I can think of a few situations and places where some lies could actually endanger the subject's life.

    Edited: Post hx. Op, GROW UP.

    Well lets say this person is involved in a gang and this person told me his deep secret for a hatred of a fundamental aspect of his gnag that may get him killed or put his life in danger

    The country where what happened where I told the secret over the internet or where it was physically said ?

    are you telling me to grow up?
