Greensboro Blogger Found Not Guilty In Cyberstalking Case

Greensboro, NC blogger Jeff Martin was found not guilty of cyberstalking on Monday, after authorities said he sent more than two dozen emails in less than one hour to another blogger, Dr. Mary Johnson. Martin, who writes the blog Vie Di Malchance, French for “life of misfortune,” was involved in a feud with Johnson over the Randleman Dam water project.

Martin told WXII in December, when the case was first brought to light, “I probably frightened her and I didn’t mean to do that. I screwed up.”

WXII reported, “The e-mails included messages such as, “Everyone knows your crazy, but no one has exhibited the courage to deal with it. I’m not afraid of you.” Martin also admitted to sending Johnson an e-mail telling her he knows where she lives. Martin said there was no threat intended, but he simply wanted to stop Johnson from attacking him and his friends in the blogging community.”

What do you think of the case?

    Unfortunately, those emails were not enough for a stalking conviction, but I can see an implied threat and think he should have been convicted of at least that. Dr. Johnson needs to file an order of protection against Martin. I have no other words for Martin.
