While Ed says > he has no idea what it is they're referring to, the odds of a jury being > able to understand how someone could have a diskette and not be held > accountable for every bit of data on it seemed uncomfortably slim. > > Also, by pleading guilty at this point and in this manner, Bernie will be > sentenced in 10 days and will most likely be released at that time since > he has already served the time he would probably be sentenced to. > > Of course, the down side to this is the fact that the federal government > will interpret this as a green light to lock up anyone in possession of > simple electronic and/or computer tools. And, as has been so aptly > demonstrated by the Ed Cummings case, if they choose to treat the suspect > as a terrorist and lock him/her
