Man faces charges for reading wife's email

[bionicarm]

Interesting legal case. This guy suspects his wife is cheating on him, so he gets on their shared computer and opens her Gmail (says he had her password). Now he's being prosecuted for "felony computer misuse". So is he guilty of the offense, or was he just trying to protect his marriage and kids?

While violent crimes go unsolved due to a lack of manpower and resources.....how stupid is this?
While we don't know the whole story and he could be a raging a-hole to live with, this is a private matter and should have been left that way.

What a crock.....I check my husband accounts and mail all the time....NOT to snoop though....because I handle everything. BUT most of his accounts are sent to my e-mails.....very few go to his.....

Sounds to me like an estrogen sisterhood prosecution. I do believe Sydney is the woman's spelling.

Well if he is found guilty, it's going to set a very interesting precedent. The next thing you'll see are the kids filing charges against their parents for 'snooping' in their email, Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter accounts.

There is already a case where a kid turned in his mom for reading his facebook stuff and changing his password after he left the account unlocked on her computer. A prosecutor filed charges but I don't know the outcome. What's next, kids going to court over being grounded?
All goes back to the government thinking they have the right to tell us how to raise our kids.

I heard about this last week. I think it's stupid. THe woman is just mad that she got caught and her little house of cards fell. I say good for the man to find that his wife is cheating.

Wife is hiding something, she's overreacting if there's nothing to hide.

earth to space cadet. YEAH she was hiding something, that is where he caught her cheating on her husband... He used it as evidence in the divorce proceedings, then some DA charged him... (which makes me think he's on the pootypoo take too)

For all we know the Wife was banging someone in the DA's office and this is how that DA is getting back at the hubby for breaking the Affair up. Nah some DA would not stoop so low to that in Michigan come on we are not talking Chicago are we.
