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.

    "Lady" is a beautiful word with a beautiful meaning. If you have ever met a real one, then know what I mean. I wish you wouldn't cheapen it that way.
