Michelle Carter is charged withinvoluntary manslaughter（過失殺人）for her role in the suicide of Conrad Roy III.

Prosecutors allege Ms Carter drove the Massachusetts 18-year-old to his death to attractsympathy（支持，共鳴，同情）.

She has asked a judge to rule on the case, rather than a jury of her peers.

"You need to do it, Conrad," Ms Carter texted him on the morning of 12 July, according torecords presented（根據記錄顯示）by the Bristol County District Attorney s Office.

"You re ready and prepared. All you have to do is turn thegenerator（發電器）on and you will be free and happy," she wrote.

一個20歲的美國女性三年前再三驅策男友自殺，之後其了結了自己的生命，該女性已因此事而坐上審判席。

Michelle Carter在Conrad RoyIII的自殺事件中以過失殺人罪被控告。

檢察官稱Carter女士促使這名馬薩諸塞州的18歲男性死亡從而引來支持和共鳴。

她已要求一個審判官裁定本起案件，而不是其陪審團的一員。

根據布里斯托縣律師所記錄顯示Carter女士在7月12號的早上發信息給他，「你應該這樣做，Conrad」。

「你已經準備好了。你所需要做的就是打開發電機，然後你就將獲得自由和快樂，」她的信息顯示。

IMr Roy had been due to attend university in the autumn

She told him in another message: "You re finally going to be happy in heaven. No more pain. It s okay to bescared（懼怕）and it s normal. I mean, you reabout to（即將）die."

As he expressed doubts, she keptpushing（推動）.

"I thought you wanted to do this. The time is right and you re ready … just do itbabe（寶貝）," she said.

"No more pushing it off（推遲）. No more waiting," she went on.

Mr Roy was found dead fromcarbon monoxide poisoning（一氧化碳中毒）in his vehicle at a Kmart car park in Fairhavens, Massachusetts, on 13 July 2014.

Texts show hewavered（猶豫不決的）in his plan to follow through with the suicide, at one point getting out of his pick-up truck.

The court heard that Ms Carter, who was then 17, replied: "Get the f*** back in the car."

After his death, she fundraised formental health awareness（精神健康意識）and led a charity softball event in his honour.

她還發了另外一條信息,「你在天堂最終會獲得快樂，不再有痛苦。害怕是正常的，一般來說。我的意思是，你即將離去。」

當他表達疑惑的時候，她仍然不停催促。

「我認為你想這麼做。是時候了，你也準備好了，寶貝儘管去做吧」她說。

她繼續說道「不要再推遲，不要再等待。」

Roy先生於2014年七月13號在馬薩諸塞州，費爾黑文的一個停車場內在其車上被發現身亡，死於一氧化碳中毒。

信息顯示他對於自己自殺的計劃猶豫不決，另外也想逃出他的小皮卡車。

法庭聽到當時只有17歲的Carter女士重複說「媽的滾回你的車。」

在他死後，Carter為精神疾病知識募集了資金並為他舉辦了慈善性的壘球活動。
