Michelle Carter On Boyfriend's Suicide: 'I Could Have Stopped Him'

PLAINVILLE, MA — A Plainville woman bragged in a text that she could have stopped her boyfriend, who she allegedly convinced to kill himself, from taking his own life.

In a text message to a friend read in court Wednesday, Michelle Carter said of her boyfriend Conrad Roy's death, “I could have stopped him. I was on the phone with him and he got out of the car because it was working and he got scared and I (expletive) told him to get back in.”

Several friends testified that Carter said she heard Roy slowly die over the phone, according to WFXT.

In another text, Carter wrote, "They read my messages with him. I’m done. His family will hate me and I could go to jail.”
