"48 HOURS" INVESTIGATES THE GROUNDBREAKING TRIAL OF A CRIME OF THE DIGITAL AGE IN "DEATH BY TEXT"

Saturday, May 28 - 10:00 PM, ET/PT

Correspondent Erin Moriarty and 48 HOURS investigate the crime of the digital age - the trial of Michelle Carter for sending text messages and calling her friend, Conrad Roy III, before he took his own life, in an encore of "Death by Text," to be broadcast Saturday, May 28 (10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+.

The broadcast includes the case, the trial, the sentencing and an interview with Lynn Roy, who opens up about the death of her son and the groundbreaking case against Carter, who prosecutors maintained caused Roy to kill himself. Roy died of carbon monoxide poisoning after sitting in his truck with a gas-powered water pump running in the backseat on July 12, 2014. Carter was later charged with involuntary manslaughter. Prosecutors said he was pushed to kill himself through hundreds of incessant messages from Carter, who was more than 30 miles away at the time he died. Her defense lawyers maintained Roy decided to kill himself on his own.
