Blogger Jailed for Contempt

This news really got my attention, a blogger sentenced to jail…

It comes down to this. Lyndal Harrington went on a blog site and made some outlandish remarks about Virgie Arthur, mother of Anna Nicole Smith.

Arthur sued her for defamation.

When Harrington went to court the judge ordered her to turn over her computer, which is evidence. She said it had been stolen. The judge accused her of lying and ordered her to jail.

We need to be careful, our words are out there for the world to see, yet it was stunning to realize that someone actually went to jail for what they said on a blog.
