“I don’t think we wanted to come up with this verdict, but we had to follow the law,” juror Jason Chilton said.

Idiot. No, you didn't. That's one of a jury's functions, to catch those cases where a literal interpretation of the law would produce an injustice. (Not saying that's the situation with this defendant, I know nothing about the case. Just saying this moron has NO concept of a jury's Constitutional responsibilities). The defendant should be able to sue the court for failing to provide him with a pool of competent jurors.

He should've hired Jackie Chiles...

There was no mens rea in this whatsoever. How can they possibly find him guilty?

Every network engineer in the country, be warned. You may go to jail for protecting your network.

I find this silly. The guy didn’t own the network. He had little vested interest in it’s security. Why did he care if it was hacked through no fault of his own? Let it burn.
