Massachusetts’ highest court upheld her conviction last week, saying her actions caused Roy’s death. ADVERTISEMENTA lawyer for Carter had argued the 22-year-old should stay out of jail while her defense team takes her case to the U.S. Supreme Court. Earlier in the day, Massachusetts’ highest court denied an emergency motion filed by her lawyers to keep her out of jail. At trial, Carter’s lawyer argued Carter had initially tried to talk Roy out of suicide and encouraged him to get help. They also argued there wasn’t enough evidence to prove that Carter told Roy to get back in his truck.
