Massachusetts’ highest ruled that the grand jury has probable cause to indict Michelle Carter in the death of Conrad Roy.

Roy committed suicide in a K-Mart parking lot in Fairhaven back in 2014.

Carter sent him dozens of text messages telling him to get back in a truck filled with carbon monoxide fumes.

Despite her lawyers arguments, the grand jury says her instructions in his final moments were a direct link to his death.
