Re: Not Mom and Pop

I think the defense attorney could have spun this as a non-authorized penetration test and gotten the time reduced

*IF* (and that's a big if) he had caused no damage or loss, maybe. But he set out to damage equipment. That's not a penetration test, but wilful damage and he deserves to be banged to rights.
