Anyone know where I can watch this? I’ve seen adverts but I missed where/when it’s on. I’ve googled and it just says it’s a HBO documentary.

Just seen it advertised! Sky crime.

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 28/09/2019 07:13

Oh fab, do you know when? I don’t even know if we have that channel but I’ll take a look.

Not sure when it's on, was advertised with several other crime programmes "the new home for crime on sky" perhaps a new channel or just rename for current one. Do you have sky? If so, I'd just type it into their 'search' and see if it comes up.

Cupcakesandcurlyfries · 28/09/2019 08:23

P. S pretty sure it's a free channel so might get it with other providers if you don't have sky...

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 28/09/2019 09:02

I do have sky and apparently it’s that channel is launching on Tuesday 1st.

Will continue to look out for it. Thanks!

I've not had a chance to watch it yet. Hubby wants to watch it too so I have to wait for him.... Who always has football or wrestling on 😭

readyforchangenow · 06/10/2019 17:51

I watched it today. Anyone seen it?

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 06/10/2019 18:10

Yes I did! It was very good. I swayed constantly but ultimately I think I agreed with the verdict.

I just finished watching both episodes. I agree that it sways you both ways for a lot of the time.

In the end I think she did deserve the sentence because she didn’t call for help, I‘m less inclined to believe she made him get back in the car (over the phone?). In the texts he seemed the stronger character.

It’s really complex when you hear about their individual difficulties and all the text history.

I watched both episodes last night. It was chilling and I was definitely swayed that Conrad had the upper hand in the relationship. Michelle came across as needy and immature. I felt that the whole thing wasn't real for her, it was like a foolish teenage fantasy that went wrong. Conducting a "relationship" over text and phonecalls opens people up to deception and fantasy, neither of them seemed stable to me. She was desperate for attention and affection. Conrad was suicidal and confused - both were on anti-depressants. It was a recipe for disaster one way or the other.

I felt that Conrad's family portrayed their shock at what he had done as if he hadn't made numerous attempts on his life previously. His father wasn't even that bothered about the domestic violence and how it had affected his son. He was physically in his son's life and was violent towards him, the boy attempted suicide on several occasions and the father blames the long distance girlfriend?

I don't think Michelle could have "made" him get back in the truck over the phone - in fact I imagine she said she did to get more attention.

The whole thing was sad and tragic, but Michelle was definitely not the only person who led to Conrad's death. I do believe that the verdict was correct, she was instrumental in that she fed into Conrad's delusion but the family let him down too.

I finished watching this today. What an awful tragedy!
Before watching this I was 100% in the mind that this girl must have been pure evil. But now after seeing it from both sides I feel so sorry for her. I disagree completely with the verdict. She was a young girl who had suffered her whole teenage life with mental health problems and not having any real "friends". After seeing how repeatedly he texted her about being unhappy and wanting to commit suicide, and putting this whole weight on her to support him, making her promise not to tell another soul - it must have been exhausting for her and I can see why she wanted his pain and suffering to end. I don't believe that she had a grasp on what was real and what wasn't, I think she lived in some sort of fantasy, and unfortunately in real life it came back to haunt her. I'm glad she got given a short sentence, but the way the media has portrayed this girl, will have her life ruined forever. She will need a great deal of support for the rest of her life.

MrsPellegrinoPetrichor · 09/10/2019 17:34

I don't agree with the verdict either, not at all!

As she was going into court someone shouted at her "kill yourself" so if she did would that person then be responsible? FFS.

It was clear from the texts it was all a mix of fantasy and lines from films and TV shows.

Conrad was determined to kill himself and he did. That's beyond sad but he used her to off load on and she early just wanted his pain to stop.

I feel very sorry for her.

MrsPellegrinoPetrichor · 09/10/2019 17:36

I don't think Michelle could have "made" him get back in the truck over the phone - in fact I imagine she said she did to get more attention I agree , it's just the sort of dramatic thing a teen might say.

MrsPellegrinoPetrichor · 09/10/2019 17:38

And the fact he'd ready tried to commit suicide seemed to be very much left out of the trial.

IHaveBrilloHair · 09/10/2019 17:42

I don't believe she said that all, it's odd how they treated it as fact, yet not the other things she said.

MrsPellegrinoPetrichor · 09/10/2019 17:43

It suited them to treat it as fact. Wow,it's made me really cross.

LunasOrchid · 09/10/2019 22:18

And the fact his father beat him senseless and has no shame in doing so which suggests it was a regular occurrence!

The family is to blame IMO not that Michelle. She's a very sick young girl who needs a lot of help.

MrsPellegrinoPetrichor · 10/10/2019 08:07

I missed the bit about the father beating him!Shock

IHaveBrilloHair · 11/10/2019 00:25

It was mentioned, but seemed to be glossed over in court.
I'd say it was two teenagers with mental health problems, not great backgrounds and together were a terrible mix.
Michelle wasn't to blame, I don't want to say anyone is to blame as such but ultimately it was Conrad's choice.
If anyone could have saved him, I'd say his family could, and long before he took his own life.

I hop Michelle gets the help she clearly has needed for a long time.

peppinanna · 13/10/2019 11:01

I'm watching this at the moment

peppinanna · 13/10/2019 20:37

After watching it I have definitely changed my opinion of Michelle. When the story broke originally I thought she was a nasty spiteful young girl but it's quite clear she has severe mental issues after watching the documentary. However the case is not black and white as I believe she has some responsibility in telling him to get back in the car after he got out but even that wasn't concrete evidence as she said this to a friend not directly to him
I felt so sad for her she had no friends and every time she asked someone to spend time with her she got rejected
