This guy is playing on his aspergers for leniency - he knew EXACTLY what he was doing when he hacked into all those firms.

[QUOTE=Saints;51008188]Even so, 99 years... You could kill a man and get less.[/QUOTE] I'd say hacking into the FBI, the central bank, and the missile defense agency rightfully weighs much heavier than murdering one person. [editline]6th September 2016[/editline] He shouldn't have hacked into stuff like that if he didn't want to face the consequences, plain and simple.

"I have Asperger's and I have depression, so suicide is a real risk.[/quote] weighs heavily on him pulling the aspergers card as a "get out of jail" card.
[QUOTE=Moby-;51007586]This guy is playing on his aspergers for leniency - he knew EXACTLY what he was doing when he hacked into all those firms.[/QUOTE] I see you have already found him guilty of this all before he's sentenced for anything? Part of this is how possibly easy it is to force a mentally unstable person with asperges in to signing a plea deal, regardless of what he's done. And the impact of this on his health even if all charges end up being dropped.
Punishment don't fit the crime, regardless what he hacked into. Murder should be the ultimate punishment, not some old unsafe computers. Nobody got hurt and if its that easy to hack into your missile defense agency, you're lucky it was a 31 year old guy from UK and not some foreign government. I would say 6 years tops (Depends if he did damage). .. and forcing you to upgrade from windows XP/fixing security protocols, doesn't count as "damage". I find it odd how punishing US-laws are VS how many laws the government breaks daily.
It seems like noones actually read the article. There is no sentence yet. I refuse to hold murder above all other crimes. There are plenty of more damaging things people can do.
