"Judge Acquits Lori Drew in Cyberbullying Case, Overrules Jury"

By Douglas A. Berman

ADVERTISEMENTS

The title of this post is the headline of this breaking report from Wired news. It is not clear to me that the judges has exactly "overruled" the jury, but rather just concluded as a matter of law that the charges against Drew could not be legally sustained. Whether this is activist judging or justice is an interesting question (and perhaps one that will be presented to the Ninth Circuit if prosecutors decide to appeal).
