They sensationalized the text-suicide case and termed it as 'involuntary manslaughter' even before the delivery of the verdict.While there was no concrete explanation in the episode as to why Michelle opted for a bench trial, the circumstances surrounding her trial make it self-explanatory. 20-year-old Michelle went on trial after two years, which meant that the case had already been dissected and judged by the media.The Girl From Plainville@PlainvilleHuluHere's what critics have to say about The #GirlFromPlainville now streaming on @hulu.9:30 AM · Apr 14, 20224410Here's what critics have to say about The #GirlFromPlainville now streaming on @hulu. https://t.co/xykdyhSletThe common public was already biased against Michelle by the time of the trial with the media sharing their version of the case all over the world and sensationalizing it in the process. Michelle thus had a more impartial shot at justice in a bench trial if she could somehow prove that she was not the reason for Conrad's death. It is possible that Michelle acted on the advice of her lawyer alone. Does Conrad break up with Michelle?Conrad and Michelle (Image via Hulu)After Michelle and Conrad's argument in the latest episode of The Girl from Plainville, he stopped picking up her calls. He left a message saying, "I can't go on like this," indicating an end to their relationship. However, given Conrad's unwell psyche and wild mood swings, it is possible that his break-up decision was impulsive.The argument and Conrad's anger probably stemmed from Michelle's time away in the facility and her subsequent progress. Despite the argument and the possible breakup, we know there is a good chance that Conrad and Michelle will get back together before his death. All six episodes of The Girl from Plainville are now available to stream on Hulu. Stay tuned for more updates.
