Teen testifies against Lori Drew
Woman Testifies Against Lori Drew in MySpace Hoax Case:
19-year-old Ashley Grills is the girl that actually created the fake MySpace profile of ‘Josh Evans’ that led to the suicide of Megan Meier. She’s been granted immunity by the California grand jury in exchange for her testimony against Lori Drew, the 47-year-old woman believed to be behind the whole nefarious plot against Megan Meier.
Grills admitted for the first time publicly that she created the profile of Josh Evans, and she told Roberts that she wrote the cruel words, “the world would be a better place without you,” that may have pushed Meier over the edge.
Grills said that she was trying to end the “relationship” because she felt that the joke had gone too far.
“I was trying to get her angry so she would leave him alone and I could get rid of the whole MySpace,” Grills said.
Or you could have apologized to Megan and told her the truth.
Anyway it sounds like Lori Drew wanted to take it even further…
“She was wanting to meet him and me and … me and Lori’s daughter were both telling Lori that we thought it was going too far ’cause none of us can meet her, none of us are guys,” Grills said.
“And she [Lori Drew] was like, it’s fine, you know, we can set her up. We can have her go meet him at the mall and go there and just laugh at her, and I thought that was wrong,” Grills continued.
Lori is 47. Megan Meier was 13. I think it goes without saying that this is not the behavior of an adult.
With any luck the grand jury will hopefully start the process to bring justice for Megan Meier.

Lori Drew, I hope your monstrous self burns in Hell. You are the lowest life form on earth. You and Ashley, fat ass Grills need to take the advice you gave to poor Megan for yourselves. I hope you do. The world would be a LOT better off without you two!

Even if she didn’t write the words, that woman knew what was going on and did nothing to stop it. She should be held accountable for the life lost. She and her family should be so ashamed that they had anything at all to do with the tragedy. I hope that Lori Drew is tried and found responsible, and I hope that she is given prison time for this crime that she participated in. What kind of parent would encourage this type of “bullying”? I hope they throw the book at her AND that she never has a moment of peace!

Ashley Grills did the right thing by coming forward and admitting guilt. Lori still denies! I would love to be a fly on a cloud when she stands before God and tries to explain this one away when she will NEVER take responsibility. A young girl has more soul than Lori will ever have. Ashley has hope for her future. Lori and her family will die miserable human beings (and that noun is generous in the extreme).

Ashley grills is a disgusting, fat piece of shit and it makes perfect sense why her fat ass would use the internet to bully a poor girl. She obviously has great contempt for herself and her dirty fat body. Ashley Grills is a piece of shit.

Asheley Grills is as guilty as Lori. I believe they didn’t have the intention of killing Magan, but she died and they have to be punished, by going to prison. But the penalty should be lighter than the penalty given to someone who has intentionally committed a crime.

Obviously this woman did not think this through - this is a terrible tragedy for everyone involved.
The families on both sides will suffer. It is definitely worse for the family that lost their daughter. Who would ever think that someone could do something so cruel? The young girl was so impressionable and looking for acceptance, and this woman crushed her. I wonder why she did this? I mean the real reason?
Before we do something like this, or get revenge, or deliberately hurt someone and think it is funny with what seems like a harmless joke, we need to put ourselves in that position first - and try to think about what harm and damage we are causing others before we actually do it.

I do think there’s some remorse from Ashley…given how she recently had to be hospitalized b/c of some case-related emotional breakdown, she @ leat knows what she did was wrong…more than I can say for that bitch Lori.

I agree with you chuck. That woman’s in her 40’s. There is no reason on EARTH she should’ve been doing this in the first place. She’s a sociopath, completely without empathy or compassion. She deserves everything she gets. I honestly didn’t think Ashley thought they were going to drive the girl to death. She probably thought “aww we’ll make her cry, haha” or something along those lines, because kids really just don’t think that far ahead. I’m sure now that the poor girl’s dead, Ashley (especially with her hospitilization) realizes what she did was wrong. Lori though. I don’t think she thought it’d kill the girl either, but I don’ tthink she cares either way. Even if she does care, as I stated in the beginning, a 40 year old -woman- has no right picking on a child -ever-.

Ashley Grills, despite her behavior is a victim of a sick twisted Lori Drew. Ashley was an employee of Drew, … Drew asked her to set up the Myspace and decieve Megan …. Ashely may have felt like she had to do it to keep her job. And Ashley is just a kid herself.
Lori Drew is a manipulative cold hearted woman. Her husband must be a real wimp of a twerp - you know she must treat him the same way. And to think Lori was smiling and saying hi to her nieghbors while she systematically tried to hurt thier little daughter.
No punishment on earth is good enough for the Drews.

God it’s horrible, isn’t it, Jerry? Mrs Drew sealed that baby girl’s fate as if she’d literally walked into her room and strangled her herself. She’s a deplorable monster and I hope something horrid happens to her.

Well, karma’s already bitten the Drews in the ass…since Megan’s suicide hit the news, they’ve had windows smashed, paintballs shot, phony police calls to their residence, both Lori and her wimpy husband lost their jobs, and their daughter was forced to drop out of school for her own safety.
You know what the worst part is? Amazingly, despite the ongoing campaign of vigilante justice and resulting consequences, it STILL hasn’t dawned on that PoS Lori that what she did was even the slightest bit wrong…about the only thing she cares about is how the Meiers destroyed a Christmas gift (a foosball table) she asked them to hold, then deposited the pieces on their lawn. So yeah, until she shows an iota of remorse, I could care less what the angry mob does to her.

You know…I never say this because I’m no advocate for violence in usual situations, but with this, really I’m -glad- the Drews are suffering. Not so much if they showed some remorse, you know? But the way things are…it’s horrible.
I really, really hope one day Mrs Drew grows up. Hopefully sooner instead of later, but the way it’s going, I think she’ll see herself as the victim before she’ll see that poor girl as one.

Couldn’t agree more, Mrs. G…while I wouldn’t normally condemn vigilante justice, this bitch:
- Pushed an innocent/beautiful/troubled young girl over the edge
- Tore her family apart (her parents are now divorcing, in case you weren’t aware)
- Made her employee a pawn in this twisted scheme, then left her to pick up the pieces (Ashley bears some responsibility, but as you said, I think she genuinely didn’t realize the ultimate consequences her actions would have…more than I can say for Lori)
As I’ve said before, given these circumstances, how do I feel about this ongoing revenge campaign against the Drews? In the immortal words of Jerry Seinfeld, “Eh, that’s a shame.”

*Claps* Exactly Chuck, Exactly. While I’m inclined to let Ashley -more- off the hook because she’s a child and I really really doubt she thought this would kill the kiddo, she still bears some blame. At the same time, She’s shown that she regrets deeply doing what she did. Now, I don’t know if that’s because of harrassment, because I really don’t know if Ashley’s had as rough a time of it as Lori Drew, but either way she at least is repentant, and though I believe she deserves some punishment, I agree with the police over giving her immunity in order to get to drew. Shes’ a minor anyway. Anything she has sentanced to her will go away when she hits 18. Drew on the other hand can be -really- punished and for that matter, for the reasons you’ve stated, and more than that, for the pure sociopathic unempathetic attitude she holds, she deserves everything she gets.
I cannot wrap my head around a 40 year old woman who would pull as stunt like this you know. I really can’t. It’s mind boggling. You stop doing this stuff in middle school.

Thanks, Mrs G…yeah, this woman’s a sociopath, and deserves to have the book thrown @ her. News articles also mentioned she had a history of intervening in squabbles between her daughter and other kids, not a good sign…there’s such a thing as being TOO involved in your kid’s life, as this tragedy proved.
Mrs Garda
Apr 11, 2008 at 7:05 am
Seems like She wanted to be like peter pan eh, Chuck? She doesn’t want to grow up. It’s really sad. Let your kids fight their own battles. They can’t have you behind–or in some cases in front of–them for the rest of their lives.

Yeah, really…w/e issues Megan was having w/Sarah Drew, I’m sure it didn’t warrant her mom and an employee creating a fake MS to dig up the facts.

Oh No, no. I’m more than sure that was just a quickly made excuse to try to justify what was a vicious, calculated attack on that child’s self esteem.

While it pains me to defend pondscum, Mrs. Garda, I have to take issue with your claim that Lori Drew knowingly sent Megan to her grave. While Lori certainly showed a callous disregard for Megan, it is unreasonable to assume that there was any intent to kill her. It seems likely that there was an intent to do real damage to Megan, but not to kill her.
Mrs Garda
Apr 11, 2008 at 5:36 pm
Anon: I certainly didn’t mean that she meant to kill the girl, though maybe I wasn’t clear. I said that it was a vicious, calculated attack on the child’s self esteem and I meant exactly that. Lori Drew meant to wound, and she meant to permenantly wound poor Megan. I don’t think -anyone- thought she’d kill herself, but Mrs Drew doesn’t care that she -did- which (In my opinion only of course) is just as bad as her deciding to kill her right out. Almost a “Well I didn’t expect THAT to happen. Ah well. Now I know.” Type of thing, like a child finding out that using a magnifying glass on ants WILL indeed send them into flames if used just right. Oh well. Just ants. Plenty more of them. Yanno?

I was responding to your comment that “Mrs Drew sealed that baby girl’s fate as if she’d literally walked into her room and strangled her herself. ” I understand what you meant, but you may wish to choose your words more carefully to send the correct message. I apologize for the nitpicking, but, quite frankly, it’s what I do.
Mrs Garda
Apr 11, 2008 at 11:16 pm
Aaaah. Well at least you understand what I meant. ^_^ I’m searching for a better analogy as we speak. Not sure I’ll find one at the moment in my current state, but we’ll see yeah?

I completely understand peoples anger towards these 3 females. However, it pays to remember that what they did in putting Megan down and calling her fat etc… hurt her to the point her self esteem could handle it no more.
We don’t know if Ashley is reading any of these and she is sorry it appears and regrets her foolish decisions.
So calling her nasty names now is only lowering yourselves to the standards she once had and as you can see it only takes a minute for someone to decide enoughs enough.
Do ‘we’ want that on our consciences knowing something we wrote was hurtful to someone else and had the very real potential of ending someone elses life? Then we are no better than Ashley, Lori or Sarah.
