Prosecutors Set Stage to Appeal Lori Drew Ruling

Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles have filed a notice of appeal in response to the ruling in the Lori Drew cyberbullying case, where a judge threw out the government’s case against Drew for allegedly using a fake MySpace account to drive a teenage girl to suicide. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Krause filed the notice on Friday in the 9th Circuit Court, indicating that the government may appeal a judge’s ruling in July that acquitted Drew of three misdemeanor counts.
