Judge Tentatively Dismisses Case Against Lori Drew

Posted by timothy on from the gotta-state-a-proper-claim dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to Wired, 'A federal judge on Thursday overturned guilty verdicts against Lori Drew, and issued a directed acquittal on the three misdemeanor charges.'" A similar story in the L.A. Times notes that "The decision by US District Judge George H. Wu will not become final until his written ruling is filed, probably next week." Update: 07/02 21:15 GMT by T : For those not following, Lori Drew's three convictions sprang from charges of online harassment of Megan Meier, a Missouri teenager whose suicide was linked to Drew's actions.

    I'm not sure it's even emotional. Suicide is illegal. Murder is illegal. Manslaughter is illegal. Assisting someone in committing suicide is illegal.

    So just because we don't have a specific "bullying someone into committing suicide is illegal" law, this fucking whore gets off?

    I hope Lori Drew and her daughter succumb to a violent torch-wielding mob. This way we remove her fucking stupid whore genes from the pool, and set precedence for any other stupid whores that want to act like "Queen Bitch" to the point of directly causing a human death.

    I actually hope white people riot like the niggers did after Rodney King.

    for making a nice list of red herrings and straw men

    if you would like to actually write down some words that involve logical reasoning, rather than baseless hysteria, then at that point i would be interested in responding to you

    but until then, you are as bad as everything you complain about, since you use the same tactics in your thinking as what you complain about: FUD

    I have to call BS on this.
    At a minimum Drew should be charged with child abuse. She knew this girl was mentally unstable (ie:depressed) and intentionally manipulated her emotions to the girl's detriment.

    If she didn't intend to manipulate this girl in some way regardless of whether or not she intended suicide...then WHY WAS SHE TALKING TO THIS GIRL PRETENDING TO BE A BOY IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?!?!
