An involuntary manslaughter conviction for a woman who sent dozens of text messages to her boyfriend encouraging him to commit suicide, which he eventually did, was upheld on Feb. 6.

The case went before the Massachusetts Supreme Court after attorneys for Michelle Carter appealed a conviction from a lower court.
