Lawyers for Massachusetts woman who encouraged boyfriend’s suicide appeal to Supreme Court
Lawyers urge Supreme Court to toss conviction of woman who encouraged boyfriend's suicide
Lawyers for the Massachusetts woman who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for encouraging her suicidal boyfriend to kill himself urged the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday to throw out her conviction because it violated her right to free speech. Michelle Carter's lawyers called her conviction in Conrad Roy III's death "unprecedented," saying it raises crucial questions about whether "words alone" are enough to hold someone responsible for someone's suicide.
