LOS ANGELES (AP) - Prosecutors want a judge in Los Angeles to come down hard on a Missouri mom who was involved in a MySpace hoax
that ended up with a 13-year-old neighbor committing suicide. They say Lori Drew should serve the maximum three years in prison for
her role in the ruse that led to the death of Megan Meier, who was led to believe she was being dumped by a boy she befriended online. The "boy" was a fabrication drawn up by Drew, with the help of her daughter. Probation officials have recommended that Drew receive a year's probation and a $5,000 fine.

Drew was convicted in November of three counts of accessing computers without authorization. Besides up to three years in prison, she could face
a $300,000 fine at sentencing set for May 18.
