I let him down, I should of knew what he was saying was suspicious and I should of called his mom or someone. She continued to deceive Boardman about Roy's whereabouts a day before he killed himself, writing, "I was supposed to save him he needed me.
#MICHELLE CARTER TEXTS GENERATOR#
On the day that she lied to her friends about Roy missing, she also texted Roy, writing: “Well in my opinion, I think u should do the generator because I don't know much about the pump and with a generator u can't fail.” I bet you're gonna say an excuse like that"ĭefendant: "WELL WHEN ARE YOU GETTING IT" YOU KEEP PUSHING IT OFF! You just said you were gonna do it tonight and now you're saying eventually.ĭefendant: "But I bet you're gonna be like 'oh, it didn't work because I didn't tape the tube right or something like that'. You just keeps pushing it off to another night and say you'll do it but you never do"ĭefendant: "SEE THATS WHAT I MEAN. Defendant: "You're gonna have to prove me wrong because I just don't think you really want this. She even chastised him when he told her he hadn’t bought one yet. However, text messages between Roy and Carter showed that she was already aware of his plan to use a generator to kill himself. “I really didn’t really think anything of it, but he didn't go to work today so idk why he would of got that stuff,” she texted Boardman.
#MICHELLE CARTER TEXTS PORTABLE#
She also asked Boardman if there was any way “a portable generator can kill you somehow” because Roy had told her he was getting one from a store. “I’m losing all hope that he’s even alive.”
They can’t find him anywhere,” she texted one friend. Two days before Roy killed himself - and while he was still in touch with Carter over text messages - she pretended that he had gone missing and expressed her apparent concern for him to several of her friends. One friend, however, told the court that she never observed any self-harm wounds on Carter. Her friends testified that she texted them about her eating disorder and told them that she was cutting herself. They don’t spend Friday nights alone at home waiting to cry.” When another friend tried to comfort her and tell her she was beautiful, Carter replied: “Beautiful girls get invited to parties. I'm nothing and I just have no idea what I'm doing. Every single one and then I'm left crying in bed at night because I have no one, no friends, barely a family like they don't even like me half the time and no plans for the future. I push people away I text them too much or try talking to them too much and they leave. But idk what I was thinking I knew I was just gonna make it all come crashing down like I always do. I don't even remember the last time someone asked to hangout with me before you did. So when someone actually makes an effort to talk to me and hangout and stuff it makes me so happy and I actually feel important like I'm worth something.
No one ever calls me or texts me it's always me that has to do it. Here are some excerpts of that message: Yeah I have school friends that all say they love me but that doesn't mean shit when no one ever asks to hang out with me. “No one asks to hang out with me,” Carter told Boardman in a page-long text message before Roy's death in 2014.
I was on the phone with him and he got out of the because it was working and he got scared and I fucking told him to get back in Sam because I knew he would do it all over again the next day and I couldn’t have him live the way he was living anymore I couldn’t do it I wouldn’t let him.īoardman testified on Wednesday that Carter would persistently text her "lengthy" messages where she complained about not having any friends. Sam, his death is my fault like honestly I could have stopped him. In one message after Roy's death, Carter told her high school friend Samantha Boardman that she "fucking told" Roy to get back in his truck when he got scared about what he was about to do. This article drew from court records and a livestream from the courthouse. Several of her friends were called to the witness stand to read the messages out loud. On Wednesday, prosecutors used the text messages Carter sent to her friends before, during, and after Roy’s death to say she placed herself at the center of his suicide and blamed herself for not stopping him. Her lawyers argue that Roy's suicide was his own choice and that Carter was neither present when he killed himself, nor did she inflict physical harm on him. Prosecutors say Carter pressured Roy - through text messages - to kill himself and then used his suicide to gain the attention and sympathy from her peers that she always craved.Ĭarter, now 20, is charged with involuntary manslaughter, which carries up to 20 years in state prison if she's found guilty by a judge.
