I hope that some common-sensical judge or jury will throw out this case. What the mother did was disgusting and reprehensible, but she didn't kill Megan. How about holding Megan's parents responsible for letting their daughter have an online relationship with a stranger? How about the understanding that if some stranger's comment on the internet could drive her to suicide, maybe she had a few bigger problems than this mother? I hope that a jury will see through this.

Just to follow up, and again to clarify my statement -- i'm not taking up for Lori Drew here. What she did was wrong.
That said, there is often a HUGE difference between what is morally wrong and what is illegal. I believe Ms. Drew did not break any laws, no matter how disgusting her behavior was. I also hope that a judge and jury will see things the same way even though she is not a very easy defendant to sympathize with.
People should stop making these emotional arguments and try to view the situation objectively in light of the current laws.

ANd lastly, you can not "make" someone commit suicide. Only the person can choose to end their lives, so I def do not think she should be charged with homicide in any way, shape, or form.
