Why is this still going on? It made sense before when there was a possibility of confusion, but at this point it is at worst a mistake, not someone with intent to commit a crime. Are charges still being pressed?

- doctoboggan 7y agoThe question here is not whether they were contracted to do the pen test, I think everyone agrees they were. The question is whether those who contracted them had the authority to authorize it. If someone from craigslist give me a contract to break into a house to test their security system, but it turns out the owner of the house did not know about the contract, who is at fault for the break-in? I do think that Coalfire acted in good faith here, but it is a complicated situation.

No, the question is whether the prosecutor believes beyond a shadow of a doubt that the accused had the requisite intent to be committing burglary. If not, the they have an ethical obligation to drop the prosecution.
- doctoboggan 7y agoYou are correct, I didn’t know burglary was a specific intent law.
- nathanyz 7y agoAgreed, I mean these guys are now pawns in some political game. But these are people's lives. Let them off the hook and then you can commence with your dick measuring contests.
- benmmurphy 7y agoI think the better question is why hasn't someone in State been arrested. If I contract a lock smith to break in a door I don't own and provide a bunch of misleading information about it I'm pretty sure I would be the one facing charges in the end and not the lock smith.
