Justice

Homeland Security discovers an obituary page for a 12-year-old girl in West Virginia. Police in Northern Ireland connect the death to McCartney, opening a manslaughter investigation.

As police piece together the last few minutes of Cimarron鈥檚 life, they realise McCartney was still online threatening her when she tragically shot herself. Police and prosecutors move quickly to establish if there鈥檚 a case for manslaughter.

Police from Northern Ireland travel to West Virginia to conduct the manslaughter investigation, where they learn that Cimarron鈥檚 own family had no idea why she took her own life. In a tragic turn, they learn that 18 months after her death, Cimarron鈥檚 father had also died by suicide.

In order to charge McCartney with manslaughter, the police have to prove that he foresaw the risk to her life. As they comb through the cyber evidence from his devices, they build a case for manslaughter and charge him. The case sets new legal precedent in the UK.

More than five years after the police investigation began, McCartney is finally convicted and sentenced.
