Defense HEAVY
24 July 2020
If you think this shows both sides of the case, this only interviews her defense lawyers, special council or specialists (hired by her defense), and one biased reporter that focuses on what he perceives as the public's negligence of what it was like to be a teenager. Speaking as someone who's not that far out of my teen years, and as someone who has battled mental health for the last decade-- Michelle Carter aided and abetted a suicide. Unless you are so unwell that you do not understand the severity of your actions and words, which cannot be conveniently only applied to a 2 year "incident" when it is beneficial to her case yet be of normal cognitive apptitute in all other circumstances you are subject to the penalty of law. There is clear acknowledgement of her wrongdoing, and that should have been enough to hold her accountable. As if the verdict wasnt enough, this documentary sent the message loud and clear to those severely depressed and vulnerable teenagers/people out there who now feel as if it is their fault. And nobody else can help. And nobody cares. So...good job on this one. Villainize the victim and victimize th villain...
