as long as she can prove she wasn't there, she will be fine--legally. Now, mentally is a different story. Talk about the guilt trip from hell

Okay, how do you know that the person committed suicide? If it's that obvious to you, then it will be that obvious to the police, so your friend's sister has nothing to worry about. I mean, how could your friend blame her sister for her death, if she wasn't dead yet? The mere existence of this note is proof against its contents. She may have driven your friend to commit the act, but it wasn't the sister's hand that killed her; it was her own. Unfortunately, there's no law against making someone else's life a living Hell and driving them to any extreme. In the end, a person is held responsible for his/her own actions.

If the girl commited suicide, there is an autopsy performed automatically. If there is any evidence of foul play involved, your girlfriend could be in some trouble. If not, then they will see it for what it is, sibling rivalry.
We are all ultimately responsible for our own actions....

I don't think so... the person responsible for the death is the person who committed suicide, because that's the criminal act here.

A letter isn't enough proof. If she was trying to say that her sister murdered her, they would need actual evidence that your friend was murdered, the letter is not substantial. If she's trying to say that her sister caused her to kill herself, that is irrelevant in court, as it is unprovable and there are no laws regarding it.

If it is indeed a suicide then no charges will be brought against anyone. Sorry for the loss of your friend!
