A woman convicted of manslaughter for urging her suicidal boyfriend to kill himself in text messages that included, 'Just do it, babe,' was released from jail Thursday
BOSTON — A woman convicted of manslaughter for urging her suicidal boyfriend to kill himself in text messages that included,"Just do it, babe," was released from jail Thursday.
Her release comes after the U.S. Supreme Court declined last week to hear her lawyers' appeal of her involuntary manslaughter conviction in the 2014 death of her boyfriend, Conrad Roy III. The phone call wasn't recorded, but the judge relied on a text Carter sent her friend in which she said she told Roy to get back in. In text messages sent in the days leading up to Roy's death, Carter also encouraged him to follow through with his suicide plan and chastised him when he didn't.
“After she convinced him to get back into the carbon monoxide filled truck, she did absolutely nothing to help him: she did not call for help or tell him to get out of the truck as she listened to him choke and die,” Justice Scott Kafker wrote in the state Supreme Judicial Court's decision.
