Carter is then seen going to court as a narrator questions what motive she would have for telling her boyfriend, who was 18 at the time, to kill himself.
‘You don’t get it. This is our love story,’ a tearful Carter tells the court.
Although Roy and Carter lived just over 30 miles apart near Boston, the two met while both were visiting Florida in 2012.
The two carried on a relationship via text from that point on despite rarely seeing each other, even though they lived within an hour’s drive.

Although Carter referred to herself as Roy’s girlfriend, he didn’t use that terminology and only referred to her as a friend.
After Roy began sharing his suicidal thoughts with Carter later in 2012, she initially tried to convince him that he has ‘so much to live for,’ according to the New York Times.
She urged him to seek professional help in June 2014, when he again told Carter that he was thinking of killing himself.

But just a month later, she began sending him text messages encouraging him to kill himself and trying to convince him that his family and friends would eventually accept his death.
‘Everyone will be sad for a while but they will get over it and move on,’ she wrote in a text message shared in court.
Although Carter’s defense blamed her text messages on mental changes brought about by a new anti-depressant she had begun taking, she was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison.
Carter was released three months early in January 2020 due to good conduct.
The Girl from Plainville premieres March 30 on Stan.
