This is one of those situations where I dont agree with a Law that is supposed to protect us.

Long story short, this lady in Missouri made a fake Myspace account posing as a 13 year old boy and contacted a girl who apparently did not get along with her daughter. This contact began an online “romance” with the girl.  A few weeks passed and apparently the lady (posing as the girls boyfriend) told the girl, “the world would be a bettter place without you”,  “broke-up” with her, and within the hour the13 year old girl had hung herslf.

A terrible terrible tragedy. It hurts my heart.

“Federal prosecutors accuse Drew and other unidentified co- conspirators of registering on MySpace as a fictitious 16-year- old boy named Josh Evans who, in September 2006, made contact with 13-year-old Megan Meier and flirted with her for four weeks.”

The Defense is looking to the the Suicide Evidence thrown out because the jury hearing about it might make them “too prejuidicial”

“Drew is charged with unauthorized access of computers to obtain information, a violation of the U.S. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act that is unrelated to the suicide, Steward said in his request to exclude the evidence. Prosecutors claim the death of the girl is relevant because Drew’s motive for committing computer fraud, they say, was to inflict emotional distress.”

It’s obvious that if this evidence of suicide isn’t presented, it could make for a much lighter punishment, and a tougher case.  With something this malicious and evil, this lady will get what she deserves one day, regardless of  if it is from the state, or God when it is her time to be judged.

The trial starts on November 18th.
