Earlier this Thursday, the 23-year-old from Massachusetts walked free out of Bristol County House of Correction ahead of her scheduled release. Apparently, it was due to “good behavior” on the inside. Initially, Carter, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Conrad Roy III’s suicide was sentenced to 15 months and 5 years probation last February. So, she’s getting out about 3 months early.
“Ms. Carter has been a model inmate here at the Bristol County House of Corrections. She has participated in a variety of programs, held a job inside the jail, has been polite to our staff and volunteers, has gotten along with the other inmates, and we’ve had no discipline issues with her whatsoever,” a spokesman for the Bristol County Sheriff’s Office said.
As we previously reported, Roy, who was 17 at the time, tragically died after filling the inside of his truck with carbon monoxide. Carter was just 18 at the time when she repeatedly encouraged Roy to commit suicide, according to reports. Roy eventually went ahead with his plans even though he had second thoughts. However, during a phone call, Carter reportedly told Roy to get back in the truck.
