Comment on If I am speaking aloud and say I wish someone would kill so and so. And another person does it. Am I on the hook for murder? How would I defend myself in court?

Probably depends on how whether you were in a position where it could be expected that someone would actually do it. If you said it on stage in front of a large crowd, call your lawyer. If you said it in front of Jim and Bob and the target is a public figure rather than someone you personally know, no one cares unless the police are going full fascist … nevermind.
