Video - The Texts That Changed Everything: A Tragic Tale of Manipulation and Consequence

In 2014, Conrad Roy III, an 18-year-old, was found dead in his truck from carbon monoxide poisoning. Initially seen as a tragic suicide, the discovery of text messages on his phone revealed a darker story. His girlfriend, Michelle Carter, had urged him to end his life, sending numerous messages that included telling him to "get back in" the truck when he hesitated. This led to her conviction for involuntary manslaughter, marking a landmark legal case about the power of words and responsibility. Michelle served 11 months in prison and was released in 2020, sparking ongoing debate about the impact and consequences of digital communication.
