Girl Who Urged Her Boyfriend To Commit Suicide Sentenced To Prison

Remember Michelle Carter? That horrible girl who convinced her boyfriend to commit suicide via text? She sent him stuff like this:

‘You better not be bulls***ing me and saying you’re gonna do this and then purposely get caught’

And this:

‘Everyone will be sad for a while, but they will get over it and move on. They won’t be in depression I won’t let that happen. They know how sad you are and they know that you’re doing this to be happy, and I think they will understand and accept it. They’ll always carry u in their hearts’

And this:

‘You’re just making it harder on yourself by pushing it off, you just have to do it’

And this:

I thought you wanted to do this. The time is right and you’re ready, you just need to do it! You can’t keep living this way. You just need to do it like you did last time and not think about it and just do it babe. You can’t keep doing this every day’

Yeah, her. She’s been sentenced to 15 months in prison.

Juvenile Court Judge Lawrence Moniz said that Michelle Carter will only have to serve 15 months behind bars and the rest of the two-and-a-half years sentence will be suspended. Once she is released, she will be on probation for five years.

 

However, the judge granted a defense motion that would keep Carter out of jail until her appeals in Massachusetts courts are exhausted. Carter was convicted in June on a charge of involuntary manslaughter by Moniz who said her final instruction to Conrad Roy III caused his death.

Fitting?

The prosecution argued for a sentence of 7 to 12 years in prison, while her defense attorney, Joseph Cataldo asked to give her five years of probation.

 

The judge called the case, which has garnered international attention, ‘a tragedy for two families.’

‘The fact that [Carter is] still at that young age offers a greater promise of rehabilitation,’ Moniz said prior to issuing the sentence Thursday.

 

‘I have not found that her age or level of maturity or even her mental illness, have any significant impact on her actions. She is bright young lady, did well In school.

 

‘And I am satisfied that she was mindful of the actions she delivered.’

Assistant District Attorney Maryclare Flynn said: ‘Michelle Carter – her actions – killed Conrad Roy. She ended his life to better her own. She has been convicted of a very serious crime that merits serious punishment.’
