‘Hang yourself, jump off a building, stab yourself’: New texts surface in the Michelle Carter Texting Suicide Trial
Tomorrow the defense team plans to declare their client not guilty
The involuntary manslaughter trial of Michelle Carter came to a head today surrounding some new texts.
Carter is accused of persuading her boyfriend to kill himself via text in 2014, with prosecutors alleging she engaged in a “sick game of life and death” triggering the 18-year-old boy’s suicide.
Read the texts she sent him here.
Prosecution in the Carter trial has rested, but before it did, a series of new texts were announced, including one in which she told Conrad Roy, her boyfriend, on July 6, 2014, “If you wanna do this take 10 benedryls and then wait 10 mins then take all the Tylenol.”
On the same day, she wrote: “Hang yourself, jump off a building, stab yourself (I don’t know) there’s a lot of ways.”
Outside of the courtroom, Defense Attorney Joseph Cataldo says he’s not happy only some text messages are being read aloud in court.
Tomorrow they will make a motion for a required finding of not guilty, according to Cataldo.
