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 often don't like the choices people make, but I like the fact that people make choices. That's why I'm a conservative.

    Why do we allow welfare recipients to have luxury items like cellphones and cable TV? Most of them got so poor in the first place because they couldn't handle money and bought luxury shit that they couldn't afford. The rest of them got so poor because getting an education and bettering yourself is "acting white" and a good way to be hated by your peers.

    community, that this is a great day for gay niggers everywhere on this and other planets.

    This kind of happiness can only be found be inserting a greased up yoda doll into your oven
    and owning a hot, burning pink Apple iPhone.

    "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.
