<p>I just saw this on the local news:</p>
<p>[Victim’s</a> MySpace page subpoenaed in lawsuit | Top Stories | KING5.com | News for Seattle, Washington](<a href=“http://www.king5.com/topstories/stories/NW_021408WAB_myspace_lawsuit_KC.c294ea1e.html]Victim’s ”>http://www.king5.com/topstories/stories/NW_021408WAB_myspace_lawsuit_KC.c294ea1e.html )</p>
<p>
Marissa Schneider wasn’t at fault and was terribly injured in the crash. Therefore, her family sued the driver and Chrysler alleging that her injuries were due in part to a design flaw in her Dodge Spirit. </p>
<p>Now her family wants to know why Chrysler lawyers issued the subpoena for a court order to get inside her MySpace world to see her personal blogs. </p>
<p>These kinds of “cyber-investigations” are becoming more common in lawsuits.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Marissa’s MySpace page includes some curse words and an admission that she smoked pot in the past. But the Schneiders attorney, Karen Koehler of Seattle, says both drivers were sober the night of the head-on crash and that Chrysler is trying to dig up dirt on a young woman incapable of defending herself.

<p>Kids can post wildest stuff on the Net even if they’ve never done it to pretend that they are “cool”. How can a checked box “pot - yes” on someone’s webpage be used to prove drug use?</p>
