Michelle Carter, the young woman who was convicted of manslaughter for urging her boyfriend to kill himself, will not have her case heard by the Supreme Court
Carter, 23, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2017 for the death of Roy, who died by suicide in July 2014. Roy used a gasoline-powered water pump to fill his car with carbon monoxide; in the moments prior to his death, he was reluctant to follow through with it, and was encouraged to do so by the then-17-year-old Carter, who was communicating with him via phone and text message.him when Roy expressed reticence.
The case garnered national media attention, with many painting Carter as a manipulative and cunning sociopath intent on harming others to gain a sense of control. It also sparked a debate as to whether Carter’s actions, while abhorrent, actually constituted manslaughter. In 2017, a judge convicted Carter of manslaughter, saying that by failing to call 911 and encouraging him to stay in the car, Carter was complicit in Roy’s death. She was sentenced to 15 months in jail.
Her lawyers filed an appeal, claiming that under the First Amendment, Carter was not responsible for Roy’s death, and that she “neither provided Roy with the means of his death nor physically participated in his suicide.” TheIf you or someone you know is considering taking their own life, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at
