50 | Michelle Carter: I Love You, Now Die

Michelle Carter was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for encouraging her boyfriend, Conrad Roy, to die by suicide in Massachusetts in 2014. Through hundreds of texts and a pivotal phone call, Carter urged Roy to get back in his carbon monoxide-filled truck when he started to back out, then failed to call for help while he died. Her highly publicized “texting suicide” case led to her receiving a 15-month jail sentence in 2017, after a judge ruled her actions and inaction were “wanton and reckless,” setting a controversial legal precedent for digital-age culpability.👉 Go Ad-Free, Join Our Next Livestream, & Support Us @ https://patreon.com/talkmurder👉 Subscribe & Follow @ https://linktr.ee/talkmurdertomeContent warning: the true crime stories discussed on this podcast can involve graphic and disturbing subject matter.
