A federal grand jury in L.A. accuses Missouri resident Lori Drew of using the social networking website to torment the girl into thinking she was being dumped by a boy.
By Scott Glover, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer 12:34 PM PDT, May 15, 2008
A federal grand jury in Los Angeles today indicted a woman of fraudulently using a MySpace.com account to "cyber-bully" a Missouri teenager who later hanged herself because she believed she was being rejected by a 16-year-old boy she met on the social networking website. Lori Drew, 49, of O'Fallon, Mo., faces three counts of accessing protected computers without authorization to obtain information to inflict emotional distress on the girl and one count of conspiracy. The case set off a national furor when it was revealed that 13-year-old Megan Meier was the victim of a hoax perpetrated by Drew, who was the mother of one of the girl's former friends. Authorities in Missouri investigated Meier's October 2006 death but declined to file charges against Drew, saying they were unable to find a statute under which to pursue a criminal case. Earlier this year, federal prosecutors in Los Angeles launched a grand jury investigation aimed at determining whether Drew or others defrauded Beverly Hills-based MySpace by providing false information to the website. As word leaked out that an indictment was pending today, Megan's father, Ron Meier, said he welcomed any attempt to hold someone accountable. "I don't know who is actually is going to end up paying for what happened to our daughter. I just want some justice after all this time," Meier said. "For the first time in as long as I can remember, I actually have hope." Drew's attorney, H. Dean Steward, said he plans to wage a vigorous defense, suggesting that prosecutors in Los Angeles were overstepping their jurisdiction. "There are a lot of issues we are going to need to raise, including why it's happening in Los Angeles," Steward said. "It seems like a Missouri case no matter how you cut it." scott.glover@latimes.com Times staff writer P.J. Huffstutter contributed to this report.

Ford Motor Company will be sending out recall notices to
more than 655,000 F-150 and Lincoln Mark TL truck owners in late June.
The trucks are 2005 and 2006 model years with 5.4 liter 3
valve engines.
A defective hose affects breaking and 11 minor accidents
have already been reported due to this.
Why wait till late June when you know it's a problem now?

I was reading how the Castillo family in Ennis were busted for running cocaine.
This isn't anything new for this family.
Years ago the local police, sheriffs, F.B.I. and D.E.A. raided their homes and "business" at the same time arresting family and friends.
These are some dangerous people and anyone who has ever lived in Ennis knows of them and the things they will do to you if you get on their "bad" side.
I think they are as mean and dangerous as the M-13 gang.
I'd rather be around some of the bloggers on this site than that family.
Can the law keep them in prison for longer than a year this time?

Tienes que estar hablando de Orgullosa de América y Chardoney
De tres a cuatro semanas antes de comenzar las revistas que llegan y que no tienen otra opción - que recoge lo hagan por ti.
Mejor represalia es para que usted suscribirse para ella y que sean enviadas a su dirección de trabajo
Translation:
You must be speaking of Proud of America and Chardoney
Of three to four weeks before beginning the magazines that
arrive and that do not have another option - that gathers do it by
you.
Better retaliation is so that you to subscribe for her and that is
sent to their direction of work
Let this serve as a warning to you lee and the rest of you sick demented ones.
