    Michelle Carter found guilty in landmark texting suicide case

    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.

    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.
    I am not sure how there was a trial- the cause of death was suicide, not homicide.

    The verdict was spot on. This girl took advantage of a young man with mental health issues. She is where she should be....in jail.

    My oversight, I stand corrected. I'll rephrase - She belongs in jail and I hope that's where she ends up.

    Just how screwed up would you have to be to encourage someone to kill himself? She will cause more problens if left on the street.

    I think the guy was a dope. She is kinda creepy for what she did. But she isn't exactly Charles Manson either.
