be to her, because she wanted texts to his phone for months. nearly 80 of them. the prosecution argued she deliberately sent the texts as a way to change her story. at the time i went along with it because i knew you were not going to do anything. but you bleep did it and i m so sorry is i didn t save you. it was agonizing for conrad s family to sit in the courtroom and hear these new details. it was pretty shocking. a lot of times it doesn t seem real. do you believe in your heart that it was criminal? i do. for someone in a fragile state and you persuade them in the worst way possible. yeah, definitely is criminal. social anxiety in me is lynn said her son s own words a month before he died show he wanted to live. i want to recover from this. i feel like i have not recovered from it yet. i do have a lot going for me. i just got a job on the boston to captain their boat, that s a huge accomplishment. there was another side to the story. michelle s. and her lawyer was

lawyer was certain the law was on her side. it s a tragedy. it s horrible. but it s just not criminal. the defense digs in to test messages that prosecution did not share in court. was michelle trying to prevent conrad s suicide? coming up go to mcclain hospital, they will help you. michelle carter was trying to talk him out of it. a very different take on michelle. michelle for a year and a half tried to persuade him to not commit suicide. when dateline continues. cars! it was so easy to find a car within my budget. i can t believe i was able to find the one. carvana had so many great options. you could get something like a eco-friendly ride, these souped-up beasts, or an elegant automobile.
