First, it was a federal judge who took pity on Jeffrey Lee Parson. Now, it's Microsoft Corp. The 19-year-old from Hopkins, Minn., won't have to pay the $500,000 in restitution he owes the company for releasing a version of the Blaster Internet worm that attacked Microsoft's Web site in the summer of 2003. Instead, the company said in court documents filed late Tuesday, he can work it off: 225 hours of community service that won't involve computers. U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman still must sign the agreement. Pechman sentenced Parson in January to a year and a half in prison - half the time prosecutors had asked for - followed by 100 hours of community service and three years of supervised release. The judge blamed his parents for not taking more of an interest in his life. The parties earlier stipulated that the restitution owed was $500,000. | ||
