Conviction on lesser charges in MySpace case - Crime & courts- msnbc.com

Conviction on lesser charges in MySpace case - Crime & courts- msnbc.com


Prosecutors said Drew and two others created a fictitious 16-year-old boy on MySpace and sent flirtatious messages from him to teenage neighbor Megan Meier. The "boy" then dumped Megan, saying, "The world would be a better place without you." Megan promptly hanged herself with a belt in her bedroom closet in October 2006.

Prosecutors said Drew wanted to humiliate Megan for saying mean things about Drew's teenage daughter. They said Drew knew Megan suffered from depression and was emotionally fragile.

"Lori Drew decided to humiliate a child," U.S. Attorney Thomas O'Brien, chief federal prosecutor in Los Angeles, told the jury. "The only way she could harm this pretty little girl was with a computer. She chose to use a computer to hurt a little girl, and for four weeks she enjoyed it."

Live Space ~ Excellent Way to Keep links you might want to refer back to in the future for whatever reason

Regina's space

This is my LIVE Space and I enjoy adding a lot of books I've read and those I'm looking forward to reading. I also like that I can add links directly from websites where I find something I'm interested in reading or might want to refer back to in the future as I'm researching a topic for an essay or article. It's nice to have a site like this where I can keep up with a variety of subjects for future reference. And, there are a number of interesting authors and others on the site who post some very informative material. I've really enjoyed this site and hope to continue my membership here.
