NEW: Lawyers for Michelle Carter — the woman who encouraged her boyfriend to kill himself — are asking Mass. highest court to extend the stay on her 15-month jail sentence, pending her anticipated appeal to the US Supreme Court to review her case and vacate her conviction.
Her lawyers intend to ask the US Supreme Court to consider the constitutional right to free speech in cases involving defendants (like Carter) who "with their words alone — assist, encourage, or otherwise cause other persons to commit suicide"
#MichelleCarter was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for her boyfriend's suicide in June 2017. She hasn't been in jail as her sentence was stayed until her state appeals were done. There's a 2 pm hearing today to revoke her stay so she can start serving her 15-month sentence
