BOSTON (AP) — A teenager who sent her boyfriend dozens of text messages encouraging him to take his own life and telling him to "get back in" a truck filled with carbon monoxide fumes must stand trial for involuntary manslaughter, the state's highest court ruled Friday.
The Supreme Judicial Court ruled Friday that a grand jury had probable cause to indict Michelle Carter, then 17, in the 2014 death of Carter Roy III, 18.
WASHINGTON — New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte on Friday called for U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch to "formally recuse" herself from investigations involving presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, a day after reports surfaced that Lynch and Clinton's husband held a rendezvous aboard a private jet.
"As a former attorney general, I believe Attorney General Lynch should recuse herself from this case given the importance of the investigation and the need to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest to ensure that all Americans have confidence in the outcome," Ayotte said in a prepared statement. "I am disappointed that she declined to do so."
