Last night, HBO broadcasted the first part of a two-part documentary titled "I Love You, Now Die." The documentary tells the story of two teenagers, high school student Michelle Carter and her beloved Conrad Roy III. They were supposed to be in love with each other until she persuaded Conrad through a message of suicide. Michelle's trial was one of the most controversial in 2016, and the details are shocking and unimaginable.
~ What exactly happened? ~
Michelle and Conrad - two teenagers living hours apart from each other in two Massachusetts cities - met in 2012 as they visited their families in Florida. Despite the fact that the connection started in the distance, they managed to stay together for two years.
In July 2014, Conrad was found dead at Fairhaven, a town in Massachusetts after poisoning itself with carbon monoxide. He was only 18 years old.
Later, police discovered shocking texts by Michelle, who sought to kill her. In messages, Michelle described different ways as he could commit suicide.

Michelle was charged with involuntary murders in July 2017. She was found guilty and sentenced to 15 months in prison. The sentence began in February 2019.

In the documentary, the previously unpublished court footage, interviews with family members, and Conrad's close associates will appear. In the first series, the center is handling the history of the prosecution, while in the second series everything is based on defense.
