Verdict on the Ryan Murder

Got an update on the case covered in "Real-Life Freaks".

A court ruling's been made and the result might surprise you.

The connection to vampires is somewhat tenuous. The article mentions the subculture the murder victim - and the suspects - were affiliated with:

Throughout the trial, which began in October, prosecutors alleged the two used a cyberspace alter-ego to communicate with Ms Ryan and she proceeded to fall in love with the boy who was a member of the "emo" subculture.

Of course, the vampire angle has been touched on with this case, due to the name of the site the trio came into contact with each other: VampireFreaks.com.
