When Michelle was 17 years old when she sent her boyfriend, Conrad Roy, text messages encouraging him to commit suicide. Conrad Roy was 18 years old when he tried to kill himself multiple times before he finally took his own life in July of 2014.
Michelle Carter was accused of involuntary manslaughter for persuading Conrad to take his own life. Carter was sentenced to 15 months in prison in 2017 but remained free throughout her appeal process. The appeals court upheld the sentence and Carter started his time in prison. The lawyers for Carter plan to appeal the sentencing to the Supreme Court.
