"I don't know the law in that state, but there's some sort of good Samaritan law there she's guilty of violating that at the very least."
You can't "violate" a Good Samaritan law, since the very nature of such laws is that they're an affirmative defense, i.e., a defined reason(s) why you should NOT be punished for violating some other law(s).
Defendant: Yer Honor or whatever, I smashed the windshield so that I could extricate the sweaty teenager from the car.
His Honor: Well, yes, but it was the dead middle of winter. And anyway, all teenagers are sweaty. My god, man, have you never smelled one of those creatures?
I'm pretty confident that life will punish Michelle Carter. I mean, would you give her a job or rent her an apartment? She's one Google search away from being George Zimmerman, the armed Floridian who murdered an unarmed teenager and got away with it through -- you guessed it -- the application of affirmative defenses. His ass is toast too.
