WASHINGTON - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday left in place the manslaughter conviction of a Massachusetts woman for goading her boyfriend into committing suicide in 2014 with numerous text messages and phone calls in a case that drew attention to cyber bullying.
Carter’s lawyers argued that her conviction violated her right to free speech under the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment. The case raised concerns among civil liberties advocates who said Carter was being prosecuted for her speech. It was the first time Massachusetts brought manslaughter charges related to texting.
That instruction, conveyed to Roy by phone, was captured in a text message Carter sent to a friend. She had, in earlier text messages, encouraged Roy to “promise” to kill himself and helped him plan the event after he abandoned earlier suicide attempts. “You’re just making it harder on yourself by pushing it off, you just have to do it,” she wrote in another.
Good for the Supreme Court
This monster is wasting the courts time and our money. She’s guilty as sin and only got 2 1/2 yrs.. Buck up little girl, you can claim the 1st Amendment for defense, but part of it is accepting the consequences for your words. Shouting Fire in a Theater.
Good.
Good
If a guy is on a ledge , and a crowd chants “jump”, and he does . Are they all guilty of murder ?

Supreme Court won't consider topless bansUS Supreme Court says it will not take up a challenge to a city ordinance banning women from appearing topless in public; a group with the motto 'Free The Nipple' argued that the law violates the Constitution by treating men and women differently. This is routine all over Europe and I don't think any of their children have died from it. How come this article is only showing this women’s back? NBC News must think women’s breast are nasty even after their own article says otherwise. It’s legal in Canada, but few (if any) women stroll around topless in the park
