District Court, D. Delaware March 26, 2015, CRIMINAL ACTION No.13-83 (United States v. Matusiewicz)

MEMORANDUM OPINION

McHUGH, District Judge

I. Introduction

Amy Gonzalez stands indicted for cyber-stalking and conspiracy in connection with the murder of her sister-in-law Christine. Belford. Because the federal statute which criminalizes cyberstalking involves .instrumentalities of communication, by its very nature it invites questions as to whether it impermissibly punishes protected speech.
