TAUNTON, Mass. (WPRI) — A psychiatrist hired by Michelle Carter’s defense team testified Tuesday that the 20-year-old Plainville woman was “intoxicated” by antidepressants when she encouraged her friend to kill himself in 2014.

A judge is trying to determine if expert testimony from Dr. Peter Breggin will be admissible when the trial gets underway in June.

Carter, who was 17 at the time, is charged with manslaughter in the death of Conrad Roy III.

Roy took his own life. The prosecution argues Carter is criminally responsible for his death because she encouraged him to kill himself through a series of text messages.
