SUICIDE-URGE FURY

Victim’s kin want max for ‘kill yourself’ gal

The aunt of the Massachusetts teen who killed himself after his girlfriend urged him to “get back in” his pickup truck as it filled with carbon monoxide is expected to ask a judge Thursday to throw the book at the young woman and impose the maximum 20-year sentence.

“Twenty years may seem extreme but it is still 20 more than Conrad will ever have,” Kim Bozzi, the aunt of Conrad Roy III, wrote in a victim-impact statement, according to the Boston Herald.

“I believe she should be kept far away from society. Take away the spotlight she so desperately craves,” Bozzi wrote of Michelle Carter (inset), 20, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in June.

Prosecutors had argued at trial that the then 17year-old hoped to garner sympathy from classmates as the girlfriend of a suicide victim. Carter’s defense lawyer countered that the heartless texts were a result of medication his client was taking for depression.

Bozzi is one of eight members of the victim’s family who have written letters to Juvenile Court Judge Lawrence Moniz, a spokesman for the Bristol County district attorney told The Post.

All of the family members, including Roy’s parents, Lynn and Conrad Jr., and his sister Camden have been invited to read the statements out loud during Thursday’s sentencing.

The judge will also consider pleas for probation and counseling in lieu of prison time.

“She will forever live with what she has done and I know will be a better person because of it,” her father, David Carter, wrote to the judge, according to the Herald.

“I ask of you to invoke leniency in your decision-making process for my loving child Michelle,” he wrote.

Michelle’s probation officer will also present a report at the hearing. The 20-year-old Plainville resident is free on bail.

On July 12, 2014, Conrad III, 18, got out of his pickup as it filled with the deadly gas in a Kmart parking lot. He returned to the vehicle after Michelle goaded, “Do it.”

Judge Moniz found that Carter’s instructions “constituted wanton and reckless conduct.”

The ruling shocked the legal community. Longtime Quincy, Mass., attorney Bob Harnais said the decision opened to door “to a direction where words now can amount to weapons.”

“This is absolutely new territory,” he told The Post.

Even with a 20-year sentence, another local lawyer not involved in the case predicted that Michelle will get less than two years in jail.

“It’ll be more like 30 days to six months,” said J. Drew Segadelli.

Michelle’s lawyer plans to appeal the verdict and any sentence.
