9:12Now PlayingA woman in Massachusetts is facing involuntary manslaughter charges after she encouraged her boyfriend to commit suicide. Michelle Carter is the woman who's facing these charges and when you read into the messages she sent her boyfriend, Conrad Roy, over the course of months, you get a sense of why she is facing those charges. Whether or not she will actually be convinced is still up in the air.
Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) hosts of The Young Turks discuss. Do you think there are grounds to convict this woman? Let us know in the comments.
Newly released text messages appear to detail how a Massachusetts teen encouraged her online boyfriend to kill himself.
"Everyone will be sad for a while but they will get over it and move on," 18-year-old Michelle Carter texted boyfriend Conrad Roy III in reference to him dying by suicide.
The messages, released Friday by the Bristol County District Attorney's Office and obtained by The Huffington Post appear to show Carter encouraging her then-boyfriend to kill himself.
Roy, 18, was found dead July 13, 2014, inside his truck at a parking lot, where he used a combustion engine to induce carbon monoxide poisoning. Carter has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the teen's death.
