Subject: RE: BS: Pentagon hacker nearly safe?
So is he responsible enough to have a computer? I am not saying that these people are dodgy. But if he can use it as an affirmative defense, can we take that chance? The Nigerian scammers if caught would be able to claim they have Aspergers and would all get off Scot free.

Also I have to say, in this country, and in Canada the mother's word is not considered, because of understandable bias, in considering a criminal's fitness for trial.
