Judge acquits mother in MySpace suicide case

CHP

Criminal vs. Civil Suit

The criminal trial has found her innocent but the family of the girl can still file a civil suit against the people who set up the fake Facebook page. If found guilty, the trio could be held liable for financial penalties. This would be similar to O.J. Simpson being acquitted on the murder charges but found guilty in the subsequent civil case.

It's not the same as jail time but at least it's something.
