For several days, Carter pressured Roy about killing himself, text messages show, and in one exchange, Carter expressed frustration that he was still alive.
Roy: “Sorry I took sleeping pills & fell asleep.”
Carter: “So it didn’t work? You said you wanted this bad. I knew you weren’t going to try hard. I feel like such an idiot. You didn’t ever do anything. You lied about the whole thing. You said you were gonna go to the woods I thought you really wanted to die. But apparently you don’t. I feel played and stupid.”
Roy: “I’ll prove you wrong.”
Roy backed off killing himself again, triggering a harsh response from Carter.
Carter: “See that’s what I mean you keep pushing it off.”
He replied by saying he wanted to die quickly and with minimal pain.
Carter: “That’s why you have to do something quick that will end without having to worry about the pain.”
Roy tried to overdose on Nyquil and Tylenol, both of which are over-the-counter medications.
The next day, Carter brought up suicide again.
Carter: “Well you gonna do it tonight or not?”
Roy: “I don’t think I have it in me.”
Carter: “I knew it!”
Roy: “I’m too scared. You’re right I don’t have it in me.”
Carter: “Just swallow all of them . . . You purposefully took a low dosage because you don’t wanna die.”
She urged Roy to take 10 Benadryls and a bottle of Tylenol.
Carter: “I still don’t think you want to do this so you’ll have to prove me wrong.”
After Roy expressed reservations once again, Carter made some suggestions.
Carter: “Hang yourself, jump off a building, stab yourself. I don’t know. There’s lots of ways.”
Two days later came this exchange:
Roy: “How was your day?”
Carter: “When are you doing it?”
A state medical examiner testified Thursday that it could have taken some 20 minutes for the poisonous fumes to end Roy’s life.
