No Felony for MySpace Killer

By Air America

Via the Washington Post:

A Missouri woman who posed as a 16-year-old boy on MySpace, wooed and rejected a troubled teenage girl who later committed suicide was found guilty Wednesday of three misdemeanor charges, but no felonies, by a federal jury.

According to published reports, the jury rejected felony charges of accessing a computer without authorization for Lori Drew, the 49-year-old mother from O'Fallon, Mo., who allegedly posed as a 16-year-old boy to harass a former friend of her daughter's. The jury did, however, find Drew guilty of three lesser misdemeanor counts.

The jurors could not reach a verdict on a count of conspiracy.
