Acquittal tentative in MySpace case
LOS ANGELES -- A federal judge on Thursday tentatively threw out the convictions of a Missouri mother for her role in a MySpace hoax directed at a 13-year-old neighbor girl who ended up committing suicide.
U.S. District Judge George Wu said he was acquitting Lori Drew of misdemeanor counts of accessing computers without authorization but stressed that the ruling wouldn't be official until he issued it in writing. He noted the case of a judge who changed his mind after ruling.
Drew showed no reaction to the decision.
She was convicted in November, but the judge said that if she were found guilty of illegally accessing computers, anyone who had ever violated the social networking site's terms of service would be guilty of a misdemeanor. That would be unconstitutional, he said.
"You could prosecute pretty much anyone who violated terms of service," he said.
Police: Teens heard screams, beat man
HARTFORD, Conn. -- A 16-year-old girl thought she heard her mother being assaulted by her boyfriend and rounded up some friends who beat him up, only to learn later that the couple actually were having sex, the woman and police said.
The girl misinterpreted the woman's amorous screams, and she and four other teens went to the woman's bedroom in the Torrington home on June 6, police Lt. Bruce Whiteley said Thursday. One of the teens beat the 25-year-old man with a bat, and others punched him, police said. He suffered a black eye and several bruises.
GM waits for judge's ruling on sale plan
NEW YORK -- An attorney for General Motors urged a bankruptcy judge Thursday to approve the automaker's sale plan, saying that the only alternative would be a liquidation of the company's assets that would have "horrific" consequences for everyone.
Attorney Harvey Miller said the government appeared committed to cutting off funding to GM if the sale was not approved by July 10. Some parties objecting to the sale argued in court that the Obama administration wouldn't allow GM to fail.
