Lori Drew's sentencing for charges related to the precedent-setting MySpace Suicide Case has been scheduled for April 30th in Los Angeles According to Associated Press. Lori Drew, who was not present at the hearing, was convicted November 26 of three counts of accessing computers without authorization. It is believed that the suicide of 13 year-old Megan Meier was a result of Drew setting up a fake profile on MySpace of a boy who romanced and then dumped Meier in 2006.
U.S. District Court Judge George Wu also deferred his decision on the motion to dismiss. The motion relates to the use of computer hacking laws and how they relate to internet sites' Terms of Service (TOS).
Defense attorney Orin Kerr argued that it's not a crime to violate a Web site's service terms under current law."The question here is: What is the proper reading of the statute?" asked Kerr. "Reading the law, there is insufficient evidence to find someone guilty of a misdemeanor."
If the charges are not dismissed, Drew faces up to three years in prison and a 300,000 dollar fine.

This woman is scum. I hope this incident haunts her for the rest of her humiliating life.
I love how you can just see the trashy heartland values shining through their glazed hamlike complexions. What magical people they are. Way better than us decadent big city folk.
One thing though - I hope someone makes a movie about this because Kathy bates would kill as Lori Drew. But then, Kathy Bates is a genius who should be in every movie.
creepy fucking bitch
rot in hell
As creepy/scummy as this woman is, this case sets an extremely bad precedent. This ruling effectively makes giving false identification when you sign up for a web site a criminal act, covered by federal computer fraud legislation. Anonymous or pseudonymous identities will be illegally "accessing a computer without authorization via interstate commerce."
Andrew M. Grossman, a senior legal analyst for the Heritage Foundation, said that the verdict "means that every site on the Internet gets to define the criminal law."
