Boston Marathon Bombing Prosecutor Carmen Ortiz, Once Excoriated, Now Hailed for Toughness

The Swartz case will never fade from my mind.

The 'public', who appear to have the attention span of a gnat, have decided that Tsarnaev is as guilty as sin, and have condemned him to death, urged on by such statements as:

“I hope that the U.S. attorney, Carmen Ortiz, takes him on the federal side and throws the book at him,” Boston Mayor Tom Menino said..." (another political hack strutting his stuff)

I don't think Tsarnaev will be able to get good representation (or a fair trial), as most lawyers don't want to be turned into pariahs by simply taking a case. Ortiz 'threw the book at' Swartz and it blew up in her face. Wouldn't it be funny if she lost the case against Tsarnaev, and he ended up in a mental institution instead of prison?

Hackers: From innocent curiosity to illegal activity

In their paper, the researchers divided the process of evolving into a criminal hacker into three stages: initiation, growth, and maturation. According to the paper, the middle stage is the only one getting any real attention.

Too Brave New World for my taste...
