"I thought you wanted to do this. The time is right and you're ready. I thought you were actually gonna do it but now you've just made me feel played and just stupid."
"No more thinking...No more waiting."
"I love you."
Dear Michelle Carter,
There are so many things I wish I could say to you. Because I won't get to, I'm determined to type them here in hopes that you may see it someday. I want you to see this because I want you to know that the people know what you did, and we believe that you do not deserve to forget about what you've done to Conrad Roy III.
You may not have taken a gun, put it to his head, and shot him.
You may not have taken a rope, and used your maniacal hands to wrap it around his neck and strangle him.
You may not have put antifreeze in his juice or rat poisoning in his food.
You may not have locked him in his truck and made him breathe in the noxious fumes of carbon monoxide that worked their way into his lungs, depriving his vital organs of the oxygen that they needed to survive. In a way, though, you did.
Nevertheless,you killed himand were convicted for his death. You are responsible for the death of someone who did not want to die - someone who was reaching out to you for help. He sought an escape in the girl he thought was there to never hurt him - who was there to be there for him and to love him. Instead you killed him.
Reading the text messages you sent him made me sick. They rattled me, sent chills down my spine, and put tears in my eyes at the cruelty and inhumanity within them. They show just how much you didn't love him, and how cold your heart is. They show the person you are deep down in your bones.
In 2015, my brother committed suicide. It killed a part of me, and one person who was nearly destroyed in the wake of his suicide was his beautiful girlfriend. I see her, and I know that she would've done anything to save his life - anything. I know that if my boyfriend were in that situation, I would not stop until I knew he was in a safe environment - until I knew that he wouldn't do what you tried so hard to make Conrad do.
When I first heard about this story, I couldn't believe that someone could be so heartless and cruel. However, when I heard about your sentencing, a part of me felt relieved that you will be away from this world and put where you can't do this to another person.
Michelle Carter, you do not deserve to try and be a victim in this situation, for the true you was revealed in the text messages. You manipulated Conrad into believing that you were doing him a favor. That is shown in his letter to you. He thanked you endlessly for "teaching him to be strong and carry on." He praised you for helping him do what he had planned. He loved you. He loved you so much that he killed himself because you told him he needed to.
Michelle Carter, you killed Conrad Roy III, and you deserve to pay for what you did. You are a soulless person, with no conscience and no regard for anyone but yourself. Thank god you are being put away for what you did to an innocent man. I truly hope that you see what you've done wrong, because this can never be undone.
Sincerely,
One Angry Girl.
