You can be convicted of manslaughter via text: Michelle Carter found guilty in "manslaughter by text" case

Times change and in today's society where everyone gets offended my what others say, people have to smart about what they say.

I agree that in this case that Ms. Carter didn't handle herself in the best way possible, but I don't think she should get jail time for a slip of the tongue.

We don't actually know what went on between them. He was suicidal, and she talked him through it. It's not a clear cut situation where she bullied him into being suicidal which is what makes it difficult. If someone wants someone else to assist them in suicide then that someone else should report the person to the authorities (appropriate response) or cease contact with the person.
