A Missouri woman has pleaded not guilty in federal court to charges in an Internet hoax blamed for a 13-year-old girl's suicide. Lori Drew pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy and accessing protected computers without authorization to get information used to inflict emotional distress. Experts say the case could break new ground in Internet law, as the statute used to indict Drew usually applies to hackers who access accounts to get information, not to send harassing messages on a social network.
