: Legal Pad | LACourt rules cyber-gay bashing not protected free speech
By Richard Binder
The 2nd District Court of Appeal ruled that students at Harvard-Westlake School who posted death threats and antigay messages on the Internet site of a 15-year-old classmate can't claim the constitutional protection of free speech. This upholds an earlier decision by the Los Angeles Superior Court.
Although the Los Angeles Police Department detective who initially investigated the hostile website postings and the district attorney have declined to press charges against the students, the decision will allow the family of the cyber-bullied boy to move forward with their suit against the students for alleged hate crimes.
The family was compelled to move to Northern California by the Internet postings, which pronounced the boy "wanted dead or alive."
