Texting suicide case: Michelle Carter gets 15-month sentence
Michelle Carter, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the 2014 suicide of her boyfriend, was sentenced Thursday to a two-and-a-half-year term, with 15 months in prison and the balance suspended plus a period of supervised probation.
"This court must and has balanced between rehabilitation, the promise that rehabilitation would work and a punishment for the actions that have occurred," said Bristol County Juvenile Court Judge Lawrence Moniz.


The sentencing of Michelle Carter, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the 2014 death of her boyfriend, got underway Thursday -- with a Massachusetts judge expected to hear from Carter's family and supporters as well as relatives of her teenage victim, Conrad Roy III.

Conrad Roy Jr. told the court that Carter "exploited my son's weaknesses and used him as a pawn" for her own interests.

[TNHarley]

I cant believe she got found guilty.. its sad...
Ohhhh the pandoras box this will likely open...
Its was like her being mentally ill didnt matter. The fact that she wanted him to end his pain didnt matter..

 

[Si modo]

I hope the Court of Appeals has better sense than the lower court.

I don't know enough about the whole situation, but from the little I have heard, she deserved a lot more than 15 months. Of course that is the problem with trying cases on the internet. Lots of people spouting off about something they know little about doesn't guarantee a fair ruling. The people involved with the real trial were the only ones with enough information to make a reasonable ruling. The best we can do is hope they were right.

Dude killed himself. I dont see why someone else is receiving jail time. Suicide isnt a crime.
She genuinely cared for the guy. The text messages proved that. She was mentally ill herself. I dont get it..

Again, what little we have read probably doesn't tell the complete story.

It's a suicide. By definition, not a homicide...or manslaughter.

Really doesnt matter anyways. Dude killed himself. It wasnt murder. Telling someone to off themselves isnt illegal. Suicide itself isnt illegal. She committed no crime.

Roy, 18, poisoned himself by inhaling carbon monoxide in his pickup truck in 2014.

He tried before to kill himself without Carter's help.
Carter was very informed on how much carbon monoxide you need to inhale to kill yourself.
This (the whole event) is the same as assisted suicide but falls outside of Massachusetts assisted suicide laws.
She did not call the Police or the suicide hotlines. I say this was murder by her.

Then you dont know what assisted suicide or murder is.

 

[Sunni Man]

This was basically a thought crime.

Who hasn't once in their life told someone you wish they were dead or to go kill themself?

Now you could go to prison for it.

Totally retarded. ......

 

[Sunni Man]

That the charges and trial took place in Massachusetts sounds about right.

It's the Democrat looney liberal center of the U.S. .....

Well, the laws are the laws.
She was fully involved in planning. This planning is not illegal, But once the
plan is executed. Changes it legally, the whole event into a legal matter.
Kinda like the OJ civil case, convicted of deaths for money.
But was found guilty for the deaths.

So this was outside the Massachusetts assisted suicide laws. So no cover there.

I for one, Total happy the guys dead. But we need better laws to allow this option for people to do so.
Most people stop people from doing this.

So like if I give you all the plans to rob a bank.
I'm an accessory to the crime if you do it. But in this matter, I will
sell them down the river for a deal.

I wish she would have received a much longer sentence.

This is what it was for. The defendant was charged with wanton or reckless conduct creating a substantial risk of (serious bodily injury) What can I say below.?

----------
Michelle Carter was indicted on February 4, 2015, and arraigned the following day at in New Bedford Juvenile Court on charges of involuntary manslaughter in Taunton, Massachusetts. The grand jury found enough to charge her with "wantonly and recklessly" assisting the suicide. She was 17 at the time and the court indicted her as a 'youthful offender' rather than a 'juvenile', meaning she could be sentenced as if an adult.[6][7]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Conrad_Roy

 

[deanrd]

Is she a GOP hero? Probably.

 

[Baz Ares]

I wish she would have received a much longer sentence.

I wish she was sentenced to a hard time tweeting to ISIS as well.
Take the help from where you find good skills. And cheap.

The Court of Appeals should throw this out. While what she did was not right, it is not criminal. People do not commit suicide because someone else tells them to do it. She is a young person and young people make mistakes.
