Good for the judge. That would be far too prejudicial. I’m surprised the case wasn’t dismissed.

I think you can want her to pay without supporting criminal charges. The family can always file a civil case against her, in fact they probably should, but I bet the prosecutors asked them to wait.

AND the townspeople can burn her in effigy every Halloween. We don’t burn effigies enough nowadays.

We need a good old fashioned witch burning. I got some torches.

oh, i hate that woman. Those people lived about a mile away from me. It was really shocking to find out what was going on. The girl had issues and the lady knew it and exploited the poor girl. She really needed help.

I hope she gets what she deserves, a nice long prison sentence. Force her to stay offline and away from kids.

If I had time, I would really like to know the prosecutions “legal” incriminations on the defendant because a ToS is a contract between the user and the service provider. In vanilla contract law, the U.S. government (EU afaik has their hands in it a bit more) rarely wants to get involved in contracts… well I just skimmed EFF’s amicus brief, and I agree with them. http://www.eff.org/files/filenode/US_v_Drew/Drew_Amicus.pdf
