Re: MySpace Suicide Case Exposes Legal Gap

So far, the testimony in the Lori Drew cyber-bullying trial, which began Wednesday in Los Angeles, has generated headlines for its inherent drama and tragedy: the mother of a teenage daughter, accused of using the MySpace social network to stage an elaborate hoax that ends with the suicide of a troubled 13-year-old classmate, Megan Meier. But the legal foundation for the prosecution's case seems like it belongs to a different court proceeding, one that doesn't involve a mother's tears and stories of teen girl gossip-mongering.


Where's the gap?

... I don't see the "legal gap" from the title...

It should be treated as a Wrongful Death case

Lori Drew should be put in jail for viciously causing the death of Megan Meier. She new that her plant would cause pain and damage to another human being. She thought about the different ways and meticulously put a plan to impose damage on someone else, how can some one like that just get away with it. Our constitution does not cover cyberspace, but that does not mean you can get away with murder just because it is not stated in out constitutional system. She is guilty of inflicting pain that lead to her death plaint and simple. She should at least be trial for wrongful death.
