Teenage suicide is tragic enough, yet is somehow ten times worse when it’s actively encouraged by the persons girlfriend. This is what Michelle Carter, who is now facing manslaughter, had to say to her boyfriend who just took his own life…

Roy had doubts, and he was scared, according to his texts. What if it didn’t work and he ended up injured for the rest of his life? How would his family cope with the loss?

Carter had answers.

He would be her guardian angel in heaven.

She would comfort his family and they would move on.

If he followed the directions he had found online for killing himself with carbon monoxide, it would “100 percent work,” she said.

“There isn’t anything anyone can do to save you, not even yourself,” she told him.

So, she not only was supportive, she actually encouraged him to do so…even when he was having a good day. Seriously, read some of these texts. The defense’s “1st Amendment, impressionable young girl” argument isn’t going to fly.
