"You can't say you don't have a right to kill yourself," she told him in one text.

"You've got a right," said Roy, according to a letter that prosecutors filed Friday.

According to the New York Post , Carter's phone records reveal she sent five text messages between March 3 and April 30, 2016, to Roy.

In one, she wrote, "I wish I could go out and kill myself. I feel like I am not only not only not getting the rest of my life but I am so not having any other choice." She added, "I'm just not feeling like I want to be with anyone like this. I am just going to let it go.

"In fact, I'm not even going to get into any more details yet. I think it's best if I tell the truth."

"He didn't do anything wrong," she said while walking from her apartment to her house in the Bronx. "All he did was go to bed. I don't think he was hurt. I don't think he was angry at anyone. I think I was just too afraid to go to the hospital. And then I saw what happened in the video.

"I think it's best if I tell the truth, because I think this is an example of how bad someone lives," she continued. "I don't believe he was a murderer. I don't believe he was scared. I don't think I was scared at the time. I think he was just too afraid to do anything and we lost and we lost a great man. I know this is a young man and I know I will never be a part of the worst case of him ever.

"I want to make sure that people don't think I'm mad at anyone. I am mad at him."

Carter's lawyer, David J. Borenstein, said that she "didn't have any intention of ever being convicted of what she did."

"The Supreme Court of Massachusetts has upheld a plea of 'not guilty' to involuntary manslaughter for a single incident in a single case," Borenstein told Fox News in a statement. "In order to fully exercise my right to a fair trial, I am requesting that the court affirm the plea of 'not guilty to involuntary manslaughter.' The plea is also consistent with the Eighth Amendment's prohibition of 'cruel and unusual punishment' and 'cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment's Due Process Clause.' I am asking the court
