Carter's defense attorney, Joseph Cataldo, argued that Roy's death was a suicide, tragic and sad. PROSECUTOR: WOMAN IN TEXTING SUICIDE CASE WANTED ATTENTIONCataldo argued that she was "involuntarily intoxicated" via the use of antidepressants leading up to Roy's suicide. She had sought treatment at McLean Hospital, one of the area's top facilities for psychiatric care, and in the month prior to Roy's death urged him to do the same. Cataldo pointed to a troubled family life and noted Roy's own history of depression, saying he had attempted suicide several times. At the time of his death, Cataldo said Roy had not met-up with Carter in more than year.
