Suicide's also a expressison of self-ownership so that mean you cannot be
guilty of murder if you hurt only yourself. Christians don't like it because
they believed that people are God's slaves and property by virtue of
creatorship. But we are in America where there's a seperation of church and
state so their opinions don't carry water. Your logic is same as the 19th
century people who put people to death for attempting suicide. I do not see
suicide as a punishment but as a reinsitution for life taken, value for
value. When I say reinsitution that means the guilty have the control over
his person and life. As for scorn, even if the court throw out your case
lack of proof beyond resonable doubt, there's oftentime enough facts that
everybody know who's really guilty. One only have to look at people who
committed murders during the civil right movenment.
