This case used to always piss me off.LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- A federal judge has postponed the sentencing of a Missouri woman in the case of a teenager who committed suicide after she was criticized on the social networking Web site MySpace.com.
In November, Lori Drew, 49, of O'Fallon, Missouri, was convicted of three misdemeanors counts of accessing protected computers without authorization to obtain information to inflict emotional distress on Meier.
Her sentencing, originally scheduled for Monday, was moved to July 2, said Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office, without elaboration.
Drew had been accused of fraudulently using the MySpace site to pose as a teenage boy who feigned romantic interest Megan Meier, a friend of Drew's daughter.
Meier committed suicide after the "boy" spurned her, at one point telling her the world would be a better place without her, according to prosecutors.
