The 20-year-old woman who pushed her then-boyfriend to commit suicide in a string of harrowing text messages has been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter by a US court.
“She is mindful that the process in the truck will take approximately 15 minutes.”
“Instructing Mr. Roy to get back in the truck constituted wanton and reckless conduct, creating a situation where there’s a high degree of likelihood that substantial harm would result.”
Judge Moniz also asserted that Carter took no action to help Roy by either calling his family or police, despite knowing both his plan and his location.
“She did not issue a simple additional instruction: Get out of the truck.”
Carter was also banned from contacting Roy’s family, and was instructed to not apply for – or obtain – a passport ahead of her sentencing hearing.
“You can’t think about it. You just have to do it. You said you were gonna do it. Like I don’t get why you aren’t.”
“I thought you really wanted to die but apparently you don’t. I feel played and just stupid.”
“I still don’t think ur gonna do this so you have to prove me wrong.”
Carter also allegedly texted Roy telling him to “get back in” to his car prior to his death, after he reportedly texted her expressing hesitancy and worry.
