You may recall you were, in one way or another, involved in some intrusions from Australia between November 89 and March (or so) 90 (over 3 years ago). The first of the criminal cases resulting from that intrusion has been completed - that of Richard Jones (Electron) who pleaded guilty (on May 12) to 14 counts, involving intrusions into systems around the world. Today he was given a 6 months suspended gaol (jail if you're illiterate) sentence, and 300 hours of unpaid community work. Jones was the one of the three involved in this lot who spent part of the time between then and now locked up in a mental hospital. The other two involved are due for trial later, they're supposedly going to plead not guilty - Jones is supposedly going to give evidence against them. Its hard to see how they can hope to claim "It wasn't me", so I would presume their defence will have to be on technical grounds (lack of jurisdiction, lack of constitutional power, ... who knows). kre %%% overflow headers %%% To: "J.
