"The law is very literal, it is like code." (I have degrees in law & CS) No, it's not, and it's the nr 1 mistake armchair lawyers across the internet are making in commenting on this case.

(e.g., the bickering elsewhere in this thread on the intricate details of the facts and Orin's analysis of it).
