Judge Tentatively Dismisses Case Against Lori Drew

Posted by timothy on Thursday July 2, 2009 @08:23AM 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.

While she's undoubtedly not very intelligent, there's no evidence to suggest she's particularly promiscuous. Please edit and re-submit your rant accordingly.
