The trial of Michelle Carter involves testimony from psychiatrist Peter Bregan regarding her use of the antidepressant Celexa. The defense argues Carter was suffering from involuntary intoxication and delusions when she encouraged Conrad Roy to commit suicide via text message. Prosecutors counter this theory by highlighting Carter's failure to notify Roy's family and her subsequent texts to friends expressing fear of discovery.

Michelle Carter was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Massachusetts for using text messages to urge her boyfriend, Conrad Roy, to commit suicide in 2014. The case centered on a specific instruction to "get back in" the truck as it filled with carbon monoxide, despite earlier messages where she suggested he seek help. The verdict highlights the legal consequences of digital communication and the lack of context often found in text-based relationships.
