Jeremy Hammond - any thoughts ?
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, June 28 2013 @ 10:35 AM EDT
Evidence seems pretty convincing to me, regardless of the morals of it what
Anonymous did is clearly illegal and by taking part they accepted the risk.

That said I have extreme doubt about the legality and morality of how they are
proceeding with the case. You have the right to defend yourself, so only being
allowed to view disclosure material with a lawyer present seems
unconstitutional. You have a right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty,
so holding him in solitary confinement (presumably as punishment) seems
unconstitutional. Plea bargaining is constitutional only so long as it isn't too
coercive in making defendants give up their right to a Jury trial, that seems
like such a boundary may have been stepped over. And is giving so much
disclosure that you could never read it all really disclosure? Unless you are
going to bring up a significant percentage of it at trial (lke 80) I personally
think that should not count as disclosure.

These are just opinions, and I suspect I am not completely informed on the
matter.
