  • Michelle Carter, now 20, has been found guilty by a Massachusetts judge for sending dozens of chilling texts to her boyfriend Conrad Roy, 18, to commit suicide in 2014.

    Carter, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, now faces up to 20 years in prison.

    Prosecutors said Carter was seeking sympathy and attention as the "grieving girlfriend."

  • Do you know?

    What allegedly happened?

  • Carter repeatedly urged Roy to kill himself through dozens of text messages and telephone calls. On July 13, 2014, Roy was found dead in his car from carbon monoxide poisoning at a parking lot in Fairhavens, Massachusetts.

  • "You need to do it, Conrad," Carter texted Roy on July 12, 2014.

    "You're ready and prepared. All you have to do is turn the generator on and you will be free and happy," she added.

    She wrote: "You're finally going to be happy in heaven. No more pain. It's okay to be scared and it's normal. I mean, you're about to die."

  • When Roy expressed doubts, Carter said: "I thought you wanted to do this. The time is right and you're ready … just do it babe."

    "No more pushing it off. No more waiting," she added.

    During his suicide attempt, when Roy appeared to get out of his vehicle after getting second thoughts, Carter had texted: "Get the f*** back in the car."

  • Information

    After Roy's death, Carter organized fundraised for mental health awareness

  • Following his death, Carter raised funds for mental health awareness and organized a charity softball game in his honor. She had texted Roy's mother Lynn Roy: "I loved him, Lynn. I know I'm young, but I saw the rest of my life with him."

  • Lynn told the court didn't pick up on any warnings of her son's suicide. "I thought he was a little depressed," she said, adding that on the day of his death, seemed cheerful.

    Carter's lawyer said Roy was in depression due to family troubles and Carter had talked him out of committing suicide.

    Court documents revealed Roy had tried committing suicide several times.

  • Quote

    Prosecution alleges Carter "used Conrad as a pawn"

  • "She talked him out of his doubts point-by-point, assured him that his family would understand why he did it, researched logistics and reassured him that he was likely to succeed, and pushed him to stop procrastinating and get on with it, mocking his hesitation."
