LOS ANGELES — A Missouri mother said she never should have been prosecuted for her role in a MySpace hoax directed at a 13-year-old girl who ended up committing suicide.
A federal judge said Thursday that he has tentatively thrown out Lori Drew's convictions, acquitting her of misdemeanor counts of accessing computers without authorization. U.S. District Judge George Wu stressed the ruling was tentative until he issues it in writing.
Drew showed no reaction to the decision in the courtroom. In a statement read on NBC's "Today" show Friday, said she agreed with it and felt she never should have been prosecuted.
