From the article:
"In his May 16 memo to attorneys in the case, Judge Stephens said the posting from a "Jennifer Russell" was posted by a male blogger in High Point who had been following the case and believed Young was innocent and had been "railroaded."
"This male blogger did not personally know anyone named Jennifer Russell and did not know a hairdresser with a friend on the jury," Stephens wrote. "He just 'wanted people to open their minds up and see that Jason Young did not do it.' He acknowledged that what he had done was wrong."
Stephens said that the State Bureau of Investigation probe also investigated similar messages from an unemployed man in Darlington, Texas, who acknowledged that he posted comments on another website as a joke.
"Unfortunately, it appears that this conduct does not constitute a crime," Stephens wrote. "The integrity of the jury verdict as rendered in open court is confirmed."
