UK Teen Hacker Avoids Jail Sentence | |
|
||
| Time: 11:21 EST/16:21 GMT | News Source: BBC | Posted By: Joshua Baer | ||
|
"A UK teenager who hacked into a US Government laboratory's computer network has been ordered to serve 200 hours community service. Joseph McElroy used the lab's computers for films and music taken from the net. Southwark Crown Court waived a demand for £21,000 in damages as it ruled that McElroy could not pay the fine. The June 2002 intrusion by the Exeter University student sparked a full-scale alert at the Chicago laboratory, which researches high-energy particles." | ||

I stayed in an Exeter dorm room once....
Probably should have kept that to myself, I guess. |

He was only hacking a Nuclear Power Plant, not downloading Music.
That's why he got off so light... TL |

diaphanein, it's called mitigating circumstances. It has always existed in the law.
As in: "Sorry, judge, I stabbed my husband 250 times but he beat the sh*t out of me everyday of our marriage." Or: "I've never committed a crime before, I have a wife and five kids, and we've had no source of income for months now, I know robbing the liquor store was wrong, but I needed to feed my family." Or: "I understand now what I did, and I'll never do it again. Don't send me to jail for 10 years, I'm only 18. I'll come out a worse criminal then than I am now. Give me parole and I'll prove I've changed." Nothing new here. It's retarded things like mandatory minimum sentences and 3-strike laws that are more messed up than weighing mitigating factors and the gray-ness of the law. Welcome to America. |
