‘The Girl from Plainville’ chronicles the “texting-suicide” case and Conrad Roy III’s terrible demise. Conrad’s connection with Michelle Carter is explored in the Hulu miniseries, as well as Michelle Carter’s following prosecution for her role in Conrad’s suicide. In the months leading up to Conrad’s death, Episode 6 depicts a particularly frightening scene in which the youngster gets into a violent argument with his father. When circumstances between father and son become particularly tense, the situation escalates, with the former hitting the latter. Here’s a breakdown of what happened.
What Happened Between Conrad and His Father?
Conrad H. Roy, Jr., Conrad H. Roy, Jr., Conrad H. Roy, Jr., Conrad H. Roy, Jr., Conrad H. Roy, Jr., Conrad H. Roy, Jr., Conrad H. Roy, Jr., Conrad H. Roy, Jr., Conrad H. Roy, Jr., Conrad H. Roy, Jr. Later, when Co discovers Conrad playing video games after leaving work early, he becomes enraged, and the ensuing dispute results in Conrad punching his father, who retaliates with an even more brutal assault.
Conrad was supposedly verbally mistreated by his grandfather and physically abused by his father in reality. Conrad’s mother, Lynn Roy, was also questioned by Michelle’s lawyer, Joseph Cataldo, regarding her son’s connection with his father. It had been strained, she said, and Conrad had gone to stay with a friend in Fitchburg for a week. Michelle Carter’s trial began with some details of an alleged domestic assault incident that occurred in Conrad’s home in February 2013. In addition, two officers were dispatched to the property in response to a reported assault and battery.

Conrad’s father was subsequently charged with assault, according to sources. During Michelle Carter’s trial, the defence summoned Mattapoisett police officers. They admitted to speaking with both Conrad and his father, but no other specifics of the occurrence were released throughout the trial. The prosecution halted the defense’s line of questioning about the domestic abuse report several times.
Did His Father Actually Punch Conrad?
Though the alleged domestic violence incident was not brought up during the trial, there have been several allegations of Conrad being assaulted by his father on at least one occasion. According to one allegation, during a dinner argument, the father allegedly pulled down his kid and repeatedly punched him. “He hit me repeatedly and pinned me down,” Conrad stated in a police statement. I couldn’t get out of bed. “I’m a piece of s—,” his girlfriend added.
Conrad Roy Jr. (Conrad’s father) is also heard talking about his arrest following a violent conflict with his son in the two-part documentary ‘I Love You, Now Die: The Commonwealth V. Michelle Carter.’ The aforementioned police officers also discovered images of “a bruised and abused” Conrad during Michelle Carter’s trial.

“I think it’s sort of awkward at first, but it doesn’t really matter,” Conrad Roy Jr. remarked of the “violent” incident in ‘I Love You, Now Die.’ “I know what happened with my son that night, and I know I was doing my job as a parent.” And I’m aware that things spiralled out of control, and we both battled. And I’d do it the same way again.”
