Michelle Carter found guilty in landmark texting suicide case
This was a crazy case. Some dude committed suicide because his g/f told him to.
I am not sure how there was a trial- the cause of death was suicide, not homicide.Michelle Carter, the Plainville woman who urged her high school boyfriend to kill himself through a series of texts and phone calls, was responsible for his death, according to a judge who today found her guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the landmark case.
Carter, who wept as the verdict was read this morning, was on trial for the summer 2014 death of Conrad Roy III, then 18. The verdict in the case, which drew national attention, is likely to reverberate across the country and potentially reshape criminal law relating to virtual communications.
