Wired is reporting today that Lori Drew, the woman involved with the creation of a phony MySpace profile that allegedly led to the suicide of Megan Meier, has been found not guilty of felony computer-hacking charges by a jury in Los Angeles. According to reports she has been convicted of three misdemeanors and the jury has deadlocked on a remaining felony charge of conspiracy.
It took the jury of six men and six women just over a day of deliberation to acquit Drew of the three felony charges of violating the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and Tina Meier, Megan’s mother, shook her head in silence as the verdict was read aloud to the courtroom.
Lori Drew was looking at a maximum sentence of five years in prison for each felony charge against her, but jurors found her guilty only of three misdemeanors that will most likely keep her out of jail.
