A 49-year-old woman pleaded not guilty to charges arising from her role in a MySpace hoax that ended with a 13-year-old girl committing suicide after being spurned by a fictitious boy. Lori Drew, 49, of Missouri, denied charges of conspiracy to inflict emotional distress and accessing MySpace computers without authorization. She will fact trial on July 29.
Prosecutors say Drew set up a fake account on the social networking site and posed, with others, as a 16-year-old boy "Josh Evans" to target a classmate of her teenage daughter, Megan Meier.
Meier hanged herself in October 2006, shortly after receiving a message from "Josh" saying amongst other things that he had no interest in a romantic relationship with her and would be better off without her.

A guy agrees with an opinion, and you actually think it is relevant that the opinion he agrees with has spelling and grammar errors?
Funny part is, the original article he posted has spelling errors in it, but he posted it anyway!
Admiral Boorda did the honorable thing. This woman totally disgusts me.
Lori Drew, 49, of Missouri, denied charges of conspiracy to inflict emotional distress...
“This woman isnt guilty of a damn thing except using the internet. “
Creating a false identity to harass someone to the point of suicide, while living nearby to gauge the effect?
That would be a crime by mail or telephone, or maybe even telegraph.
This trial is important- how many of us here use a “false identity”?
Southern Rock, is that your real name, or are you committing fraud online?
Like I’m called DBrow in the meatworld, ha. DBrow(x) : DBcol(y).
And bad spellers, it's inundated, not innudated. Spell check is your friend, try it sometime.
L0L! Yes...its painful
No doubt. And setting a fine example.
Lori Drew is a seriously disturbed and dangerous woman. She needs to spend a few decades in a low-cost, state-run mental institution, given thorazine and made to sleep in a padded room.
Its just bizzare. Was it a crime? Probably not.
LOL, nice catch. It’s always amusing when people like that pwn themselves.
What are you the typing police?
Is that a crime to poindexter?
I guess I'm commiting fraud and harassment, cause that ain't the name my mamma gave me. Send some assclown prosecutor to file charges against me quick, so they can be "tough on crime" and fold their arms across their chest in all their photographs.
She could be prosecuted for harassment at best.
I'm the standards cop, and I'm trying to write out tickets but at this rate I'll be issuing arrest warrents.:)
This is where I am on it. The parents of the girl should have known more about what was going on. The 49-year-old is sick, but I don't think a murder charge is right. If this had been done with letters, or by phone, it would have probably brought a harassment charge, I think.
If the teenage girl was that susceptible, then she should have been monitored more closely, as almost anything could have set her off. To me, this is much like blaming murders on a video game.
Why are you and others defending this woman? What’s your argument? What’s the defense? I’m an asshole who likes to prey on 13 year olds like R. Kelly, so I’m part of the group that likes to take advantage of and destroy kids too?
