Lori Drew and Megan Meier Case Analyzed by Zoe Kurtzer

Lori Drew, Sarah Drew and Ashley Grills should all be arrested for the murder of Megan Meier. The Criminal Justice System exists to serve and protect the peace. The judges let the murderers off the hook in this case, thus relaying the message to other people that the illegal actions perpetrated the three murderers is acceptable. Sarah Drew had a history of mental illnesses, one including depression, that had a huge factor in her death. Despite her illness, this does not validate what those three people did to her. Whether or not they were able to understand the terms of agreement (if they couldn't understand it, they should not have made the account), these three people have common sense and know that it is dangerous and not okay to falsify an account for greed. On top of falsifying an account, they intentionally bullied Megan and posted hateful and dangerous material to her to receive a reaction back. Whether or not Lori or Sarah Drew created the account and sent the material, they were all aware of exactly what they were doing. If Lori Drew really created this account because she feared Megan was bullying her daughter, she should have walked up the street and had a civilized conversation over their concerns with Tina Meier, Megan's parent. Sarah Drew is equally responsible for the murder of Megan Meier. Sarah Drew knew Megan on a personal level, and  was educated enough to realize the possible implications of creating a false account to cyber bully Megan. Law enforcement agencies create false accounts all the time, to solve a case. Despite what they are doing, creating false accounts, the code of ethics still exists to use social media responsibly. Ashley Grills is also equally responsible, she added to the situation and knew what she was doing was wrong, illegal and immature. This case could have been avoided in many ways. First, Sarah Drew should have consulted a professional and discussed Megan's history of attempted suicide. All three murderers should have spoken directly to either Megan Meier or Tina Meier or both respectfully and genuine about any concerns they had. This is a case full of pathetic excuses from all three murderers attempting to legitimize and suppress their actions of murdering 13 year old Megan Meier.
