Callous bitch,weak ass boyfriend...
Shocking new text exchanges show a Plainville teen — accused of pressuring her online boyfriend into killing himself — callously talking him through his doubts, helping him devise a plan and badgering him after he kept putting it off right up until the minute he took his own life, according to court filings.
“There is no way you can fail … You’re strong … I love you to the moon and back and deeper than the ocean and higher than the pines, too, babe forever and always. It’s painless and quick,” prosecutors say Michelle Carter texted 18-year-old Conrad Roy III days before his suicide last summer.
When Roy responded, “I’m sorry” and “Just doing this and everything. Like, I just had one life and I’m blowing it,” prosecutors say she replied: “Don’t be sorry Conrad,” and “You are my beautiful guardian angel forever and ever (smiley face) I’ll always smile up at you knowing that you aren’t far away.”
After convincing Roy his parents would recover from his suicide because “I honestly feel like they can accept it,” Carter, 18, allegedly texted him, “Everyone will be sad for a while but they will get over it and move on.”
“Yeah, you just have to do it. You have everything you need … Tonight is the night. It’s now or never.”
The disturbing exchanges, included in a motion filed yesterday in New Bedford Juvenile Court, were sent between July 6 and July 12 — the day before Roy’s suicide — and provide the most detailed look yet inside the pair’s secret romantic relationship, which prosecutors say began in 2012 and was maintained mainly through texts and online messages.
Even Roy’s best friend, prosecutors say, was unaware of it.
Roy was found dead July 13, 2014, inside his pickup truck in the parking lot of a Fairhaven Kmart. Prosecutors say he used a generator to kill himself with carbon monoxide fumes.
At one point prior to his suicide, Carter texted Roy: “Do you have the generator?”
“Not yet LOL,” he replied.
“WELL WHEN ARE YOU GETTING IT?” she texted back.
Carter, who was a 17-year-old student at King Philip Regional High School at the time of Roy’s death, faces up to 20 years behind bars on a charge of involuntary manslaughter.
Attempts to reach her attorney, Joseph Cataldo, were unsuccessful last night. Days after she was charged, however, Carter’s family put out a statement stressing that she is “not the villain the media is portraying her to be” and is a “quiet, kind, and sympathetic young girl” who “tried immensely to help Mr. Roy in his battle with depression.”
But the new filings, which came in response to Cataldo’s motion to dismiss, suggest just the opposite.
“It’s okay to be scared and it’s normal. I mean, you’re about to die. I would be concerned if you weren’t scared, but I know how bad you want this and how bad you want to be happy,” prosecutors say Carter told Roy days before his death. “You have to face your fears for what you want.”
When Roy went to Sears to buy a generator and told Carter he saw a man wearing a Jesus costume, she replied: “Ha, ha, ha. It’s a sign it’s your calling.”
At another point Carter texted: “You can’t keep pushing it off, though. That’s all you keep doing.”
Roy: “I’m gonna do it soon … I have the key so I’m going to get the generator in a few hours.”
Carter: “A few hours isn’t soon, ha ha.”
After his death, Carter’s messages to her friends show her acting heartbroken and vowing she had no knowledge of the plan.
She also morphed into a suicide awareness crusader, hosting a baseball fundraiser called “Homers for Conrad” in her hometown and sending comforting emails to Roy’s grieving mother and sister, according to the filings.
