LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A judge has ordered jurors to return to deliberations Wednesday after they suggested in a note that they had reached verdicts for three of four counts in the MySpace cyber-bullying trial of a Missouri mother.

Jurors gave a note to U.S. District Court Judge George Wu sent late on the first day of deliberations asking, "Can we be hung on one count but unanimous on the others?"

"I'm going to excuse for today and have you deliberate some more," Wu told the panel of six men and six women Tuesday. "If the jury is still at an impasse, hand me a note."

Wu did not ask jurors which count was at issue, nor did he ask what the vote count was.

Lori Drew, 49, is accused of conspiracy and accessing computers without authorization for her alleged role in a scheme to create a phony profile of a teenage boy on the MySpace social networking Web site to harass 13-year-old neighbor Megan Meier.

Drew could be sentenced to as many as 20 years in prison if convicted of all four counts.

Megan, who was being treated for depression, hanged herself in 2006 after receiving a message that the world would be better off without her.

Drew, whose daughter was once a friend of Megan, pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Earlier Tuesday, jurors asked the judge to clarify an instruction about the definition of infliction of emotional distress and the elements needed to prove it. Prosecutors allege Drew, with the help of her daughter, Sarah, and a business assistant, accessed a computer without authorization to taunt Megan.

Prosecutors charged Drew under the Computer Use and Fraud Act, which in the past has been used in hacking and trademark theft cases.

The terms prohibit the use of phony names and harassment of other MySpace members.

The case is being prosecuted in Los Angeles because MySpace computer servers are based in the area.
