A Massachusetts woman charged with manslaughter after allegedly sending dozens of text messages encouraging her boyfriend to kill himself will appear in court on Tuesday.

Twenty-year-old Michelle Carter will appear in Taunton Juvenile Court for a hearing ahead of her trial for the 2014 death of Conrad Roy III.

Carter is accused of sending dozens of text messages to her then-boyfriend Roy, convincing him to kill himself.

Roy's body was found in his pickup truck in Fairhaven. He died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
