Part two of the Michelle Carter documentary, I Love You, Now Die, presents the case as seen from the side of the defense. Now, Breaking Celebrity News has 10 harrowing new revelations from the haunting film.
Dubbed the “Teen Text Killer,” Michelle was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of her boyfriend, Conrad Roy III, after she encouraged him to commit suicide.
The second part of the HBO film presents the evidence from the trial that shows the alleged physical abuse Conrad suffered at the hands of his father, Michelle’s claims of a romance with a girl and the ominous text messages the couple sent to each other before his death.
Conrad died by carbon monoxide poisoning while sitting in his truck in a Kmart parking lot in Massachusetts in July 2014.
Over 20,000 text messages between him and Michelle revealed that she told him over and over to end his life, but the defense has tried to argue that other dark forces influenced him to turn to suicide.

Broken Family
Conrad allegedly experienced domestic abuse at the hands of his father. A photograph showed him with a bruised eye in the beginning of the film. “Did you get beat up?” Michelle asked him in February 2014. “F**k u,” he responded. Police officers during the trial were not able to clearly state whether Conrad was a victim of an assault by his father, Conrad Roy Jr, however, an officer on the stand did say Conrad's “face was swollen, red and he had some lacerations to his face."
Dad’s Arrest
His “Victim/Witness Voluntary Statement Form,” details the incident. “Told Dad I would put out pan of mac & cheese away after commercial of basketball game. He said do it now.” It continues: “He punched me repeatedly and pinned me down. I couldn’t get up. His girlfriend said I was a piece of s**t.” Conrad’s father was reportedly placed under arrest for assault and battery. (The documentary did not mention what came of the arrest.)
Father’s Words
“I used to think at first it was kind of embarrassing, but it doesn’t matter anymore,” Conrad Roy Jr. says in the documentary about his arrest. “I know what happened that night with my son and I know I was being a parent and I know things got out of control that night and we both fought each other. And I’d do it again just like that. Sometimes my father would say if you ever take a swing at me you’re going to get it. You’re going to make sure you don’t do that ever again. I just felt like I should do the same thing.”
Mom’s Heartache
Conrad’s mother, Lynn Roy, texted Michelle after her son’s death and placed some of the blame on his father. “I am angry with myself because I think maybe if I would have told him to stay away from his Dad’s family maybe things would have been different. There is so much anxiety that I have because I believe some of his Dad & his family members have blood on their hands.”
