Michelle Carter sent dozens of text message to her boyfriend while he was suicidal, allegedly pressuring him to kill himself so that she could receive sympathy and attention.

SOURCEThe attorney for Stephen Avery has accused Teresa Halbach's ex-boyfriend Ryan Hillegas of murdering her.
The attorney claims that Ryan Hillegas was still in love with Teresa and was jealous that she had moved on. Teresa had moved on to a romantic relationship with her roommate. The attorney claims that Hillegas committed perjury, because he stated on the stand that Teresa was "only roommates" with the guy, even though they were romantically involved. He also had no alibi for October 31, 2005, the day Teresa was murdered.
She also says that lawyers Dean Strang and Jerry Buting were ineffective counsel for Avery.
