The prosecutor who brought charges against a former Boston College student for encouraging her boyfriend to hill himself is "very confident" in the case being brought against the woman, the district attorney told Boston ABC affiliate WCVB.
Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins spoke exclusively to WCVB about the case against Inyoung You, who was charged in late October with involuntary manslaughter for the death of Alexander Urtula. Urtula died after jumping from the roof of a parking garage in Roxbury, Massachusetts, on May 20.
"We're very confident in our case," Rollins told WCVB.
You, 21, sent 75,000 text messages to Urtula in the two months leading up to his death, according to Rollins. Some of those texts included ones urging him to kill himself, she said.
The couple, which met at Boston College, dated for just 18 months. He died on the same day he was supposed to attend his graduation. You was allegedly present at the time Urtula jumped.
