Email Bomber Faces Retrial

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the putting-the-case-back-on dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A UK teenager who was cleared last year of launching a denial-of-service attack now faces a retrial. Judges have ruled that crashing a server with five million emails probably isn't permitted under the law. With NASA hacker Gary McKinnon vowing to fight on after losing his extradition fight yesterday, it's been a busy few days for the UK courts."

    Look at OJ, even if you believe he was guilty you have to admit the process is fucked up.

    The hell I do. The civil and criminal systems exist for different purposes and have differing standards of proof.

    After probably having killed their mother, OJ still has custody of their kids... now that's fucked up.
