Lori Drew

Lori Drew is undoubtedly a most unpleasant woman:if she were a man I would be recommending a horse whipping. For what Lori Drew did was drive an already depressed teenager to suicide:

named Josh Evans who hated her. He was 16, owned a pet snake, and she thought he was the cutest boyfriend she ever had.

Josh
contacted Megan through her page on MySpace.com, the social networking
Web site, said Megan’s mother, Tina Meier. They flirted for weeks, but
only online — Josh said his family had no phone. On Oct. 15, 2006, Josh
suddenly turned mean. He called Megan names, and later they traded
insults for an hour.

The next day, in his final message, said Megan’s father, Ron Meier, Josh wrote, "The world would be a better place without you."

Sobbing, Megan ran into her bedroom closet. Her mother found her there, hanging from a belt. She was 13.

Six
weeks after Megan’s death, her parents learned that Josh Evans never
existed. He was an online character created by Lori Drew, then 47, who
lived four houses down the street in this rapidly growing community 35
miles northwest of St. Louis.

The thing is, driving someone else to suicide is not actually a crime. Thus no charges have ben laid against Lori Drew:


Jack Banas, the St. Charles County prosecutor who announced that no charges would be filed over the Megan Meier Internet hoax, answered some questions yesterday about why no charges would be forthcoming.
But he did not put an end to all the questions in the public’s mind. And he was not the only one who commented on the story yesterday.
A blogger claiming to be Lori Drew posted "I’m Lori Drew" yesterday and engaged, for several hours in a running argument with readers who commented.
Whether it was really Lori Drew or not, it was one of the only places that was arguing another side to the Megan Meier story–albeit, not very effectively.
After looking over press accounts of the report yesterday by the prosecutor, we picked out what might be some items for the defense of Lori Drew in the public’s mind.

So, no criminal charges for Lori Drew, just the condemnation of all right thinking people.

    The Weekly Vice Offers This Open Letter To St. Charles County Prosecutor Jack Banas.
    Jan 9, 2008 (The Weekly Vice )
    Dear Jack Banas,
    The nation has been horrified as an adult mother, her daughter and an employee of the adult stalked, harassed and bullied a 13 year old minor child continually until that minor child committed suicide.
    When you reviewed the case, the nation watched as you willfully ignored a sworn statement by Lori Drew stipulating her involvement in this process. We watched when you willfully adopted Lori Drew’s new account of what happened – while failing to address Lori Drew’s previous, sworn statements. We are now watching as you willfully and neglectfully ignore the legal implications that go along with falsifying a police report.
    Jack Banas, you have claimed repeatedly that Lori Drew violated no state law or statute. You have gone on the record with these statements multiple times. What you have not done is explain why some citizens of your county are required to follow the laws of the land while others are not. Why some citizens are prosecuted for filing false reports with Missouri authorities, while others seemingly are not required to be accountable for such acts.
    On November 11th, 2006, the St. Charles County Sheriff’s Department responded to a complaint that Lori Drew wished to file. The authorities in your county arrived and took Lori Drew’s detailed statement.
    The officer carefully accounted word for word Lori Drew’s statements using quotes to accurately record her words, and in this statement Lori Drew stipulated to several key facts that she now disputes. Among those key statements, Lori Drew stipulated the following:
    “Drew stated she, her daughter and Ashley all typed, read and monitored the communication between the fake male profile and Megan. Drew went on to say, the communication became “sexual for a thirteen year old. Drew stated she continued the fake male profile despite this development.”
    This statement is the exact text as stipulated by Lori Drew in the Incident Report she willfully filed. In this Incident report, Lori Drew detailed in clear language her active involvement in the shameful activities that cascaded into tragedy for Megan Meier.
    Jack Banas, Lori Drew’s current statements dramatically and compellingly disagrees with the statements she rendered as true testimony in the November 11th report. She now has stated through her attorney Jim Briscoe, the following:
    “Everything, as far as Mrs. Drew knew, was that all the communication was nice and polite and there was no harassing going on,” Briscoe said. “She did not create the MySpace account. She did not instruct anybody to create the MySpace account. She never made any communications through the MySpace account.”
    Lori Drew has also given public statements, denying that the report she filed on November 11th is accurate. In doing so, she herself calls into question the accuracy of the statement she submitted to St. Charles Deputies in her November 11th complaint.
    You Cannot Have It Both Ways:
    Jack Banas, Missouri Law demands that when a citizen files an Incident Report in the State Of Missouri, the citizen has an obligation to tell the truth.
    There are many instances where Missouri residents have been charged and convicted for filing false police and incident reports. St. Charles County has similar convictions on the books for these offenses.
    Jack Banas, the citizens of Missouri would like to know why some citizens of your county are expected to abide by the law and play by the rules, while others are allowed to thumb their nose at these requirements.
    Jack Banas, the citizens of Missouri would like to know why an elected county prosecutor personally reviewed this case and willfully ignored the obvious reversal Lori Drew has made in her statements between the November 11th incident report and her statements now.
    Jack Banas, since you have stated that Lori Drew did not break the law, we have no other choice but to assume that filing a false statement and/or false police/incident report with St. Charles County authorities is acceptable under the laws of your county.
    Jack Banas, you can no longer have it both ways. Either Lori Drew (and the St. Charles County Prosecutor’s office) has been untruthful with the citizens of Missouri on November 11th, 2008, or you are being untruthful with us now.
    Jack Banas, California prosecutors should not feel the burden of enforcing laws that you and your office refuse to enforce equally among all Missouri citizens. Beverly Hills taxpayers should not carry the burden of justice that Missouri taxpayers are already paying for.
    Tax paying Missourians demand that you enforce the laws you have been sworn to uphold. If you are not willing to equally and fairly uphold your duties as the St. Charles County Prosecutor, then we respectfully request that you resign your office and allow a candidate to step forth who will follow through on his/her oath to uphold the laws of the great state of Missouri.
    We await your reply with voting card in hand.

    I think its interesting how some of the news outlets were refusing to print Lori Drew’s name, even though she’d already confessed and tried to shrug it off as unimportant, despite Meier’s suicide. Now that she’s under inditement, they HAVE to print it. Hahaha.. fuckers
