Obviously the judge disagrees with you. As do I.

Moving on.

Maybe she’ll kill herself while out waiting for sentencing.

“Maybe she’ll kill herself while out waiting for sentencing.”

Be careful. You might be prosecuted.

I’m with you. He was mentally ill. It’s the same thing as a little kid can’t “consent” to having sex. It’s considered rape. I feel like she was on a power trip with her being Svengali.

It is all to destroy agency (individualism/free will/Christianity) in the masses. We are making people not responsible for their own actions and their own decisions......creating snowflakes, like the ignorant boy that committed suicide; a Marxist worldview where we never are in control of ourselves, have agency or have free will. The programming system in our evil schools (Common Core) makes the snowflakes—people incapable of critical thinking and which has normalized slavery (vice) and total irrationality—removal from Truth and Reality.

The Left through control of our “news”, textbooks, literature, “art”,, and skool system are forcing unnatural desires, artificial, totally irrational “thinking” on the masses-—removing Reality and Objective Truth (Our Constitution and God). We no longer have a “Justice” system based on natural law and God’s Laws which formed the most rational, best “Justice System” in history of the world.

As Cicero stated, when “just laws” promote vice it will destroy virtue formation in the people—make them ignorant, immoral and dependent on the state since vice makes slaves of the masses (a serf system with only tribal worldivews).

Control of Language and Words has been going on for 100 years to literally destroy the Christian worldview of selflessness and virtue formation so others just see people as a Means to an End——to use oneself and others in disgusting, vile ways is now normal and good and glorified to even preschoolers to destroy the possibility of a Christian worldview-—where we have individual natural rights only from God, not the State and that Just Laws only promote truth and freedom and virtue.

Now, our “laws” promote vice and evil and slavery at every turn and it is ALL unconstitutional and our children are all Mind Controlled-—like the suicidal boy and the girl who had no virtue formation.

When the death panels tell eldery patients to just go kill themselves, they want to be shielded from prosecution.

This vile little succubus latched onto him precisely because he was emotionally disturbed and suicidal. She egged him on via social media, and was upset because nobody felt sorry... for her.

Take her out of this society. Involuntary manslaughter is on the weak side, in my opinion.

Depraved witch.

“Yeah she is a bitch, but this idiot had tried to commit suicide BEFORE they met, so I think this goes down on appeal.”

Sadly, I think you are correct. As an aside, you just have to wonder where her parents were bringing her up. What she did as a human being is despicable.

Don't worry she's already scoping out the wannabes for her next boyfriend or girlfriend

I'm sure she'll have plenty of admirers filling up her commissary account...

Read the full set of text messages. She switches from being his “friend” and telling him to seek medical advice to pushing him to kill himself. Like it’s all some sort of game. Over 1 dozen times she pushes him toward suicide. Who does that to a friend? Who would even do that to a stranger? This woman is a sociopath.


June 19, 2014
Here, Carter urges Roy to seek medical help for his suicidal thoughts.
Carter: “But the mental hospital would help you. I know you don’t think it would but I’m telling you, if you give them a chance, they can save your life”
Carter: “Part of me wants you to try something and fail just so you can go get help”
Roy: “It doesn’t help. Trust me”
Carter: “So what are you gonna do then? Keep being all talk and no action and everyday go thru saying how badly you wanna kill yourself? Or are you gonna try to get better?”
Roy: “I can’t get better I already made my decision.”

June 23, 2014
In this exchange, Carter discourages Roy from harming himself.
Carter: “How do you want to harm yourself”
Roy: “Something idkk yet”
Carter: “Please don’t”
Roy: “I hate myself I’ll always hate myself, I’m never gonna view myself as good I’m so far behind”
Carter: “What is harming yourself gonna do!? Nothing! It will make it worse!”
Roy: “Make the pain go away like you said”
Carter: “It will make the pain go away temporarily, but when you’re done, you’ll just regret it and feel even worse!”

July 7, 2014
Here, Carter tells Roy how she would handle his situation.
Roy: “ If you were in my position. honestly what would you do”
Carter: “I would get help. That’s just me tho. When I have a serious problem like that my first instinct is to get help because I know I can’t do it on my own”
Later that day, however, Carter and Roy discuss the best way for him to produce carbon monoxide (CO).
Carter: “Well there’s more ways to make CO. Google ways to make it. . . “ <<<-— 1
Roy: “Omg”
Carter: “What”
Roy: “portable generator that’s it”

July 8, 2014
The next day Roy seems less resolute.
Carter: “So are you sure you don’t wanna [kill yourself] tonight?”
Roy: “What do you mean am I sure?”
Carter: “Like, are you definitely not doing it tonight?”
Roy: “Idk yet I’ll let you know”
Carter: “Because I’ll stay up with you if you wanna do <<<-— 2
it tonight”
Roy: “ Another day wouldn’t hurt”
Carter: “You can’t keep pushing it off, tho, that’s all you keep doing” <<<-— 3

July 11, 2014
On this day Carter sends Roy her opinion about using a generator in the truck, as opposed to a water pump.
Carter: “...Well in my opinion, I think u should do the generator because I don’t know much <<<-— 4
about the pump and with a generator u can’t fail”

July 4-12, 2014
This series of messages was sent over a span of nine days. The —— indicates a pause between conversations.
Carter: “You’re gonna have to prove me wrong because I just don’t think you really want this. You just keeps pushing it off to another night and say you’ll do it but you never do” <<<-— 5


Carter: “SEE THAT’S WHAT I MEAN. YOU KEEP PUSHING IT OFF! You just said you were gonna do it tonight and now you’re saying eventually. . . .” <<<-— 6

Carter: “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’ . . . I bet you’re gonna say an excuse like that” <<<-— 7

Carter: “Do you have the generator?”
Roy: “not yet lol”
Carter: “WELL WHEN ARE YOU GETTING IT” <<<-— 8

Carter: “You better not be bull sh*ting me and saying you’re gonna do this and then purposely get caught” <<<-— 9

July 11-12, 2014
Overnight and into the next morning, Roy shares concerns over how his parents would handle his suicide.
Roy: “I’m just to sensitive. I want my family to know there was nothing they could do. I am entrapped in my own thoughts”
Roy: “like no I would be happy if they had no guilt about it. because I have a bad feeling tht this is going to create a lot of depression between my parents/sisters”
Roy: “i’m overthinking everything. . f**k. I gotta stop and just do it”
Carter: “I think your parents know you’re in a really bad place. Im not saying they want you to do it, but I honestly feel like they can accept it. They know there’s nothing they can do, they’ve tried helping, everyone’s tried. But there’s a point that comes where there isn’t anything anyone can do to save you, not even yourself, and you’ve hit that point and I think your parents know you’ve hit that point. You said you’re mom saw a suicide thing on your computer and she didn’t say anything. I think she knows it’s on your mind and she’s prepared for it”
Carter: Everyone will be sad for a while, but they will get over it and move on. They won’t be in depression I won’t let that happen. They know how sad you are and they know that you’re doing this to be happy, and I think they will understand and accept it. They’ll always carry u in their hearts”


Roy: “i don’t want anyone hurt in the process though”
Roy: “I meant when they open the door, all the carbon monoxide is gonna come out they can’t see it or smell it. whoever opens the door”
Carter: “They will see the generator and know that you died of CO. . . .”

Roy: “hey can you do me a favor”
Carter: “Yes of course”
Roy: “just be there for my family :)”
Carter: “Conrad, of course I will be there for your family. I will help them as much as I can to get thru this, ill tell them about how amazing their son/brother truly was”

Roy: “Idk I’m freaking out again”
Roy: I’m overthinking”
Carter: “I thought you wanted to do this. The time is right and you’re ready, you just need to do it! You can’t keep living this way. You just need to do it like you did last time and not think about it and just do it babe. You can’t keep doing this every day” <<<-— 10
Roy: “I do want to. but like I’m freaking for my family. I guess”
Roy: “idkkk”
Carter: “Conrad. I told you I’ll take care of them. Everyone will take care of them to make sure they won’t be alone and people will help them get thru it. We talked about this, they will be okay and accept it. People who commit suicide don’t think this much and they just do it” <<<-— 11
July 12, 2014
In these exchanges on the day before his body was found, Roy expresses more hesitation about his plan.
Carter: “So I guess you aren’t gonna do it then, all that for nothing”
Carter: “I’m just confused like you were so ready and determined”
Roy: “I am gonna eventually”
Roy: “I really don’t know what I’m waiting for. . but I have everything lined up”
Carter: “No, you’re not, Conrad. Last night was it. You keep pushing it off and you say you’ll do it but u never do. Its always gonna be that way if u don’t take action” <<<-— 12
Carter: “You’re just making it harder on yourself by pushing it off, you just have to do it”
Carter: “Do u wanna do it now?”
Roy: “Is it too late?”
Roy: “Idkk it’s already light outside”
Roy: I’m gonna go back to sleep, love you I’ll text you tomorrow”
Carter: “No? Its probably the best time now because everyone’s sleeping. Just go somewhere in your truck. And no one’s really out right now because it’s an awkward time”
Carter: “If u don’t do it now you’re never gonna do it” <<<-— 13
Carter: “And u can say you’ll do it tomorrow but you probably won’t”

Carter: “You just need to do it Conrad or I’m gonna get you help”
Carter: “You can’t keep doing this everyday”
Roy: “Okay I’m gonna do it today”
Carter: “Do you promise”
Roy: “I promise babe”
Roy: “I have to now”
Carter: “Like right now?”
Roy: “where do I go? :(”
Carter: “And u can’t break a promise. And just go in a quiet parking lot or something.” <<<-— 14

I’m just throwing this out for discussion. It’s not a perfect analogy...but suppose Person A tries to commit suicide with a semi-auto pistol. But he has trouble chambering a bullet, and the gun jams. So A puts the gun aside.

A then calls B, and tells B exactly what he tried to do. B tells A to try to clear the jam. A then clears the jam, and he shoots himself.

Is Person B guilty of manslaughter?

It seems pretty apparent Carter wanted to use the suicide to become famous and play the “grieving girlfriend.”
Looks like she’ll be grieving alright....but not in the way she anticipated.

Young people today are completely full of themselves .....endless selfies and amazing hours of idleness.....all to get that one moment as a celebrity wannabe.

So glad my kids are grown and at a time when they knew their free time was precious to them and used it well.

I expect that the evil rap songs that suggest killings will soon be deemed responsible for murders, with the writers and performers being convicted of crimes?

This is a bit of a slippery slope to be on, IMO, which seems to be what you are also seeing.

If person B was aware of the circumstance outside of the gun being jammed, I’d say a case could definitely be made.

“..Manson didn’t go to the house and kill people...”

There were actually TWO murder sprees on different nights. Manson was present at the SECOND murder, of the LaBianca (sp?) people.

I’ve always thought the real battle in this case will take place in the court of appeals.
