It is too short. This hacker tried to get his neighbor labeled as a sex offender and a terrorist, on top of trying to ruin his marriage, family, and get him fired. All of those things, especially the first two, would have screwed up the rest of that lawyer's life.
The hacker tried to take this guy's life away. 18 years in prison pales in comparison to the damage he tried to do. If this hacker received a slap on the hand, it'd be no better than not punishing women for false accusations of rape. If you try to ruin someone's life on purpose, you deserve to have your life ruined. If the hacker finds new meaning to life while incarcerated, that's what parole hearings are for.
- wisty 15y agoHis neighbor had done the same. They told the police he'd kissed their 4-year-old son. That's a reason for a grudge (unless it was true ... but we don't really know)
- lotharbot 15y ago> unless it was true According to the sentencing memo [0], he confessed to it (page 5, and included in the guilty plea on page 24). The 4 year old also said it happened (page 5). He also coached his child to give false testimony about it (page 26). I'd say we know it happened.
