Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te whānau o tētahi ākonga o te kura tuarua e whakahe ana ki te whakatenatena i tana hoa kia whakamate i a ia anō i mua i te kohi mano tāra mō te ārai i te whakamomori, e kī ana he harakore ia. Kua whakawakia a Michelle Carter, 18, mo te kohurutanga i te mate o Conrad Roy III, i mate i te paitini waikura i roto i tana taraka i Fairhaven, Massachusetts, i te Hōngongoi o te tau kua hipa. I te wā i tuku karere ai a Roy ki a Carter, e kore ana ia e tino mōhio me whakamate ia i a ia, ā, kua eke atu ia i te waka, e kīia ana kua tuku karere atu a Roy ki a ia: 'Kia hoki mai ki roto.' Kua tiakina e ona maatua to raua tamahine e kii ana 'kaore ia i te kino e whakaatuhia ana e te hunga papaho' me te ngana noa ki te awhina i a Roy, e mate ana i te pouri. Engari ko nga hoa o te akomanga i uiuia e nga pirihimana i muri i te parekura i whakaahua ia ia hei tangata e hiahia ana ki te aro atu, e mohiotia ana ko te kotiro e 'karanga ana i te wuruhi'. I kii ano a Carter kua rua tau te roa o te tokorua e piri ana ki a ia, engari ko nga hoa pai o Roy e kii ana kaore ano kia rongo mo ia. Ko te whakapae: I mohio a Michelle Conrad, i whakaahuatia i te taha maui, ko tana hoa a Conrad Roy III, i te taha matau, he whakamomori engari kaua ki te rapu awhina, i akiaki ia ia ki te tango i tona ora i nga meneti i mua i tona matenga i te Hurae o te tau kua hipa. I roto i tētahi tauākī i riro mai i te The Boston Herald, ka mea te whānau: 'Kua pakaru tonu ō mātou ngākau mō te whānau Roy. 'Mo te hunga katoa kaore i te mohio ki ta maatau tamahine, ehara ia i te tangata kino e whakaatuhia ana e te hunga papaho. He kotiro rangimarie ia, he atawhai, he atawhai hoki. I tino kaha ia ki te āwhina i a Mr Roy i tana pakanga ki te pouri. E mōhio ana mātou, ka puta mai ngā take katoa, ka kitea he harakore to mātou tamahine.' Whai muri i te matenga, ka tiimata a Carter, e haere ana ki te Kura Tuarua a King Philip, ki te kohi moni me te mohio mo te aukati i te whakamomori me te whakarite i tetahi whakataetae poipoi putea i te Mahuru o tera tau. I roto i tētahi whakaahuatanga mō te kaupapa, 'Homers for Conrad', ka tuhituhi a Carter: 'He uaua te ora, engari mā te āwhina i ētahi atu ka māmā ake.' I muri mai ka tuhia e ia i runga i a Twitter kua kohia e te huihuinga te $2,300. Heoi, i te wa e noho ana te hoa pai o Roy...
I tukuna e Michelle Carter ki a Conrad Roy III, 18, he raupapa o nga karere e akiaki ana ki te whakamate i a ia i te papa waka i Massachusetts i te Hōngongoi o te tau kua hipa. I kitea ia kua mate i te paitini waikura i roto i tana taraka e noho puku ana. I kohikohia e ia he $ 2,300 mō te ārai i te whakamomori mā tētahi hui pōro māmā, ā, he maha ngā karere i tuhia ki te ipurangi e pā ana ki te nui o tana mihi ki a ia. E whakapono ana ōna mātua ehara a ia i te 'tino kino e whakaahuatia ana e te pāpāho' E ai ki ngā hoa o Roy, he kōtiro ia e karanga ana i te wuruhi, e hiahia ana hoki ki te aro. Ko Carter, tekau mā whitu ōna tau i taua wā, kei runga i te herenga, ā, me haere ia ki te kōti i te marama o Paenga-whawha.
