Episode 33: Was Conrad Roy texted to death?

Show Notes

The relationship between Massachusetts teens Conrad Roy and Michelle Carter was one that only could have happened in the 21st century. They lived less than an hour from each other, but rarely met in person. But they communicated nonstop by social media, and in the weeks leading up to Roy’s July 12, 2014, suicide, they exchanged more than 1,000 texts.

Carter’s conviction was the first in Massachusetts history in which someone was convicted of manslaughter for words alone.

Join us as we discuss the tragedy that was the relationship between Conrad Roy and Michelle Carter.
