Lori Drew Cyber-Bullying Trial Begins

Posted by kdawson on from the trying-to-outlaw-acting-like-a-jerk dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The cyber-bullying trial of Lori Drew opened yesterday. She was indicted for conspiring to access and accessing MySpace illegally in order to 'further a tortious act, namely, intentional infliction of emotional distress' (PDF of the indictment). The BBC has background on the case, the NYTimes covers the opening statements, and Wired has today's testimony."

    Your post hurt my feelings so much that I attempted to commit suicide. You should be put behind bars for intentionally trying to hurt me through cyber-bullying.

    But seriously, STFU.

    1) Be the parents of an emotionally fragile girl who Lori Drew drove to suicide
    2) kill Lori Drew and claim temporary insanity
    3) Do 6 months in jail
    4) Sell your story to a publisher, get on Oprah
    5) Profit! It's the American way!
