I think she is guilty of something. Maybe not homocide but there is something seriously wrong with a woman that age trying to harass kids on the net.
“Alot of prosecutors seem to have gone nuts lately. They have become power hungry, oportunistic, fame seeking, far-reaching bullies, trying to railroad people into the slammer for thier careerist goals.”
Agreed.
How can I take your post seriously? A list of the words in your post misspelled (not including punctuation mistakes):
opportunistic (there are supposed to be 2 p’s as opposed to one), “their” is the correct spelling, as opposed to “thier”. A lot as opposed to alot...
Here’s a tip: If you are going to use the internet, at least display some measure of competency. Unless, of course, this was a joke, in which case, I stand corrected.:)
Watch out, dude, you’ve got the grammar/spelling cop on your tail. Just back away from your monitor and put the mouse down slowly.:)
“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).
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?
There are now federal laws in place that specifically address electronic harassment—that is, using the internet to torment someone in just this way. I believe the federal law was passed about five years ago. Most states have similar statutes in their code now, too.
Some prosecutors may have become “power hungry, opportunistic, fame seeking, far-reaching bullies,” as you say. But in this case there has been a local and national outcry about what this woman did, and the prosecutor was responding to a local sense that something had to be done. Have you read all the accounts of what Lori Drew did? She embarked on a complicated campaign to torment and humiliate an innocent young girl, a girl she knew very well was vulnerable and prone to depression. She enlisted her own child and others in the plan. I doubt she intended for the victim to die, but what she did falls well within the definition of internet stalking and harassment.
I hope she goes to jail nearly forever. I hope she suffers greatly. At present she is so sociopathic that she has no sense she did anything wrong. Someone needs to teach her otherwise.
Yeah, and Adolph Hitler wasn't guilty of a damn thing except speaking in public. Gosh, what's all the fuss about?
It has a little something to do with incitement and persuasion.
Look up the "manslaughter" statutes in the state.
Most of them have some provision for "setting in motion" events which lead to someone's death. I think a grown woman manipulating the emotions of a teenage girl in this way could easily fill the requirement of "setting in motion" the events that led to the girl's death.
Quit pretending that such alarmingly reckless and irresponsible behavior as this has no real consequences.
“This woman isnt guilty of a damn thing except using the internet. “
And what if she had mailed a letter to this girl, instead of using the internet?
This mother is the same type of person that would break another ice skater’s legs so her daughter could win.
What kind of adult would use the internet to mentally abuse a child?
If she would commit mental abuse, how much further would she go?
Had the girl not committed suicide, would the mother have tried a hit and run?
IIRC, this ‘mother’ got other families in the neighborhood together and tried to ‘oust’ the dead girl’s family, for daring to file a lawsuit.
