RE: Amish Teen illegally wiretaps neighbors Phone

The kid got off a lot cheaper than these folks:

ADL loses $10.5 million defamation suit 
http://www.jewishaz.com/jewishnews/000512/adl.shtml 

As the dispute grew more heated, the Aronsons began listening to cordless
telephone conversations of the Quigleys which they managed to overhear with
a police scanner, and later recorded.

After consulting with the ADL, the Aronsons later told area media of
overhearing their neighbors tell crude anti-Semitic jokes and make comments
which the Aronsons took to be threats against their family. The Quigleys
denied that the threats were ever meant to be serious.

Rosenthal's comments about the Quigleys, made on behalf of the Aronsons
after the Denver ADL agreed to state their case publicly, formed the basis
of the Quigleys' defamation lawsuit.

Basing their charges on hundreds of hours of recorded telephone
conversations of the Quigleys, the Aronsons, and later the ADL, related
often-lurid stories of what some believed were ethnic slurs and potential
threats.
