Michelle Carter's probation prevents pricey book deal, paid interviews
I remember Judge Moniz saying she was not to profit from any of it but reading this it seems it is only until her probation ends.
Then it seems she can? Did I read this right?
I have to wonder about this. Did anyone happen to watch the Lifetime Movie, "Conrad and Michelle, If Words Could Kill"?
Just consider the title alone for a minute... IF? ( apparently, the writer/producer questions weather emotional abuse is harmful).
I unfortunately did watch the movie. It was disgraceful imo. ( and boring, truth be told!).
Conrad was depicted as a severely disturbed, suicidal pot head determined to die but didn't have the cajones to follow through. Seems like every scene where he wasn't in his home or school he had was smoking a joint and totally messed up. very little mention of his goals and achievements, such as getting his Captains Licence, ( one small reference, his mom mentioning it in court).
Michelle was depicted as a equally disturbed, ( minus the pot smoking ), young woman who earnestly believed she was "Helping" Conrad over the fears that stood between him and happiness in Heaven. (They even show her trying to hang herself, but doesn't at the last minute).
They never show how every. single. time. he expresses doubt, fear, the desire to live, she wacks him for it. calling him a coward, making him promise,
OBLITERATING every single reason he had to live.
They leave a lot out. Only in last five minutes or so, do they depict accurately her extreme sociopathic personality, and even then, you can see that are trying to show that she truly didn't know what she was doing was "wrong". ( why then, did she instruct him to DELETE her messages as he was literally on the way to death?).
Such as when she texts Conrad's phone, after she has been convicted and sentenced, but is still free pending appeal... " Conrad, I love you I miss you my dearest love, my "person". As she is shown lying in a tanning bed closing the cover. This is clearly meant to imply that she did not, even then, realize the seriousness of her actions. but was mentally incompetent. I call BS and I think this movie was made to protest the verdict, or at least question it.
The movie so disturbed me, that I searched for reaction from either his family or hers, and there is none. There is no explanation for how or why this movie was made. ( or who profited). In fact so few people have even seen it, there is just about no mention of it online, anywhere.
Have any of you seen it? What did you think, if so?
