Michelle Carter was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter following the 2014 death of her friend after sending him a series of text messages urging him to commit suicide. She was 17 years old at the time of the incident.
She was his girlfriend I believe-and she listened to him while he took his last breaths and died. Pretty sick stuff-but both of them had history of mental illness. Very sad.
I obviously don't know the specifics, so I can't comment on this case.
In general, I have a problem blaming anyone else for a person's choice to commit suicide. No matter how awful a person is to another, the decision to take one's life belongs to the deceased.

That's why she was charged with involuntary manslaughter and not murder.
But to egg on someone she theoretically cared about - someone she knew was troubled - well, something is seriously missing.
I'm so happy about this verdict. This girl knew he was mentally unstable and did everything she could to make him kill himself. This girl is evil.
