The Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Center for Democracy and Technology, Public Citizen and more than a dozen law professors have filed an amicus brief to dismiss the federal government’s criminal case against a Missouri woman who used a false identity on a MySpace page to bully a teenager who ultimately committed suicide. Federal prosecutors contend that the woman, Lori Drew, created a MySpace account under the name “Josh Evans” and, using that false identity, developed an online relationship with Megan Meier, a 13-year-old girl who later committed suicide.
