Everyone is responsible for the full effects of his actions. One is literally responsible for all consequences, everything no matter how indirect.
This absolute responsibility is physics, while the limited 'only direct consequences' type thing is a choice made in some human legal systems.
People are smart. They know what stress they put on people and from interacting with them they get a good feel of much they can take. If they ignore that, or decide not to talk to people they're putting stress or choose to ignore things, that's only intentional negligence.
I don't think the prosecutors cared. I don't think we should judge unless there double standards or hypocrisy, but let's not imagine they aren't responsible for things that resulted from their action and inaction. You cause what you case.
