Mother Of Conrad Roy Files Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against Michelle Carter

Michelle Carter is facing a wrongful lawsuit from the mother of Conrad Roy III. ts. The suit was filed last month in Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham.

Thursday, Carter was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison, with 15 months to serve. She is free while her case remains pending on appeal in the state court system.

In June, Carter was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Conrad Roy, her ex-boyfriend. The case centered on scores of text messages she sent him encouraging he take his own life. The two met in Florida in 2012 while they while both were on vacation with their families.

On July 12, 2014, Roy died in the parking lot of the Fairhaven Kmart from carbon monoxide fumes from a gas-powered water pump. Texts between the two show a then-17-year-old Carter spending days encouraging Roy to end his life and telling him to get back into the truck when he began to have second thoughts.

The civil case does not have a court date yet, according to the state's court database.
