Lori Drew, the Missouri woman who pretended to be a 16-year-old boy on MySpace and drove a love-struck young girl to commit suicide after rejecting her, was convicted Wednesday of three misdemeanor charges by a Los Angeles jury, but no felonies.

Deliberations in the high-profile trial of the 49-year-old suburban mother ended after two days with the twelve jurors deciding that Drew was guilty of three misdemeanor counts of unauthorized access to computers instead of the main conspiracy charge. Each count is punishable by up to one year in prison and a $100,000 fine but will probably not result in any jail time, according to media reports.

"My client was puzzled by the verdict," Drew’s lawyer, H. Dean Stewart, said at a press conference. "She feels deep sadness for the fact that Megan took her own life. She doesn’t feel vindicated."

Drew, who lives in a suburb of St. Louis, was accused of fraudulently using the social networking site with her daughter and a business assistant to participate in what the prosecutor called "an elaborate scheme to inflict massive humiliation" on a 13-year-old girl, Megan Meier. Their motive was to gain access to Megan's MySpace page to see if she was saying anything about Drew's daughter. The teenage girl, who was being treated for depression, hanged herself after the imaginary boy, Josh Evans, whom she had fallen for, told her the world would be better off without her.

The emotionally charged case hinged on the government's novel argument that violating MySpace's terms of service for the purpose of harming another was the legal equivalent of computer hacking, and Drew faced a maximum sentence of five years in prison for each charge. However, the jurors could not reach a verdict on a conspiracy count, and U.S. District Court Judge George Wu declared a mistrial on the charge.
