U.S District Judge George Wu said during the session in Los Angeles the conference room that the federal application public prosecutor of regulations anti-hacking against the Missouri woman, Lori Drew, was selective and the law has unconstitutionally bolted.
In high apostr s cyber-case bullying that Drew main all over the world, Drew was found was guilty in November 2008 from three criminal light counts to access the computer that was protected without authorisation. He was more serious acquitted felony the cost. The jury that was blocked in the four conspiracies felony the Count.
Drew was accused that made the appearance false in the site of the social network MySpace, that was had by News Corp and the matter as the male adolescent to joke and insulting 13 years of Megan Meier, the neighbour that has quarreled with Drew apostr s daughter. Megan ultimately committed suicide, hanging herself in her bedroom closet in October 2006.
Drew has the sentence that was dealt with beginning with the probationary period three years behind the bar in three criminal light counts. Had the conviction that upheld the judge, he was scheduled to be punished on Thursday from listening.
On the other hand, the judge said him tentative gave the defence of the movement to expel the convictions and will cause the end, the opinion that was written in several points in the future.
Some legal experts have criticized the prosecution of Drew on the basis of an anti-hacking statute -- the first case of its kind -- saying the law was intended to punish people who break into computers to steal information.
U.S. Attorney Thomas O'Brien, who led the prosecution of the case personally, said afterward he would wait for a final ruling before deciding whether to appeal the dismissal.
O'Brien, who was accused of grandstanding when he brought the case, also left open the possibility of retrying Drew on the conspiracy charge for which the jury failed to reach a verdict.
"The prosecution of Lori Drew was a case I felt strongly I had to pursue. I believe it warranted a serious sentence," he told reporters. O'Brien shrugged off accusations by the defense lawyer, H. Dean Howard, that he was prosecuting Drew to further his own career.
Megan's mother, Tina Meier, said she was "extremely upset with the decision the judge made."
"I wouldn't want to be in Lori Drew's shoes and live her life," she added. I think she is already living a life sentence."
