Suicide-by-text manslaughter trial in MA (1 Viewer)

[Galileo]

Live sentence being streamed

recess until 2:50 PM

 

[Osaurus]

Tough listening to some folks on the stand.  Wow.

 

[culdeus]

2.5 years?  

that's more than I thought she'd get.  I think my guess earlier in this thread was 12mos max.

It's a slippery slope.  

 

[eoMMan]

Bump...

I'm guessing 2.5 years.

Whoa...this was money.

 

[eoMMan]

 

 

[Galileo]

she just got granted a Stay for the incarceration.  She may never see the inside of the prison cell.

 

[sbonomo]

Well she does not have to go to jail right away.  Not sure if that is common.  

 

[johnnycakes]

No love for her eyebrows?  

 

[fantasycurse42]

I'm in the 1-3 range too.

There are all types of crazy, & I'm typically of the ilk that the crazier the better for some quick pleasures, but I'd stay clear of this one.

Yeah.  You'd never know what she could convince you to do.

I think she got off pretty light for her part in her bf's suicide. She is young so the goal is rehabilitation and not punishment, but I think she should have been carted off to jail today to start serving her sentence.

When someone talks suicide, has thought about it and worse, tried it before in the past, you need to take it seriously. Derailing someone's conversation, messing with them, mocking them is never right. I think we saw that with Fin but here we go again. So easy hiding behind a user name on a message board, isn't it.

 

[Jobber]

If I was family of the victim, this broad would never be seen or heard from again.

While both situations are sad, there is no comparison between what happened with Fin and what happened here with this girl.

Not comparing, just saying..

Who is that helping?

 

[FreeBaGeL]

She's kind of hot.

The crazy ones always are.

Looks like they were done by a drunk graffiti artist.

Just coming in here to post about those stupid caterpillars above her eyes. Crikey are those some uglies! 

 

[rockaction]

Oh, and what she did was wrong. Very cold-hearted. Very immoral. 

But not illegal, scarily enough.

hint:  she's going to jail.

 

[rockaction]

Yeah, thanks, -fish-, totally missed the charges and the conviction. 

That wasn't an opinion or anything.  

 

[Galileo]

hint:  she's going to jail.

maybe...maybe not.

 

[Slapdash]

HBO has a 2 part documentary on this case.  Left me feeling like she should not have been convicted.  She is clearly very unwell and not a reliable narrator of the lynchpin claim that she told him to get back in the car.

 

[Slapdash]

Yeah, very odd. 

Aside from a crazy gf,  why was he so depressed? Were there other specific reasons?

Sounds like both his parents both had abusive behavior.  His dad was even arrested for beating him once.

 

[Penguin]

The HBO series was very good. Sounds like both suffered from mental illness.

Dont think I need to see the series to know that.

What’s the name of the documentary? 

 

[Slapdash]

What’s the name of the documentary? 

I Love You, Now Die: The Commonwealth Vs. Michelle Carter

 

[RUSF18]

Carter looked she could have been probably 6 different people over the course of the doc between all the videos and pics shown.

 

[AAABatteries]

I Love You, Now Die

This is how my wife signs my birthday card each year.

Agree with this 100 percent. I thought she should have gotten off. 

 

[culdeus]

Agree with this 100 percent. I thought she should have gotten off. 

I mean what did they say she would be out in?  Like November this year?  Got 15 months in in February 2019 it looks like.  Expected to see just 9.  

Tbh even with all that 9 months seems on the scope of reasonable.  

 

[eoMMan]

Just finished the documentary....

Yeah, they were both mentally ill and there was a lot in there that I didn't read from the news.

Sad story. I think the sentencing was fair after watching this.

Side note: My wife and I were just discussing how there's a TON (maybe most?) of young people like these two who are very socially awkward. Not as severe as the two here but with the advances in tech/social media, it's like this new generation lacks the ability to communicate well with other people in person. We both notice it in our jobs with the younger staff. Idk.

 

[supermike80]

I haven't watched part 2 yet but from what I can gather from part 1, this boy was going to kill himself no matter what(he tried 4 times).   Did she contribute to his decision? She sure did..and she definitely has her own demons shes battling.

I think 2.5 years is fair.   To 100% blame her for this I think is wrong.  Shes a cold evil crazy woman and she should be committed to a mental institution rather than put in prison/

 

[eoMMan]

Released from jail today....

 

[Nipsey]

Released from jail today....

She looks like she aged about 30 years in that picture. Rough times in the big house.

 

[RUSF18]

Released from jail today....

The doc was immediately shown on the main screen of HBO Go when I opened it up a couple hours ago. Thought maybe there were new episodes added.

Those guys are good.

Sheesh.  

So now what do you do with your life after that?  Other than checking in with a probation officer.  

 

[Nigel]

Sheesh.  

So now what do you do with your life after that?  Other than checking in with a probation officer.  

 For starters she’ll need to move somewhere far from MA. Florida seems about right.

Bring your crazy, your immoral, your horrible lasses

Bring your crazy, your immoral, your horrible lasses

Maybe she can move in with Casey and OJ
