http://www.mercurynews.com/breakingnews/ci_6029308?nclick_check=1 A former San Jose medical manager has pleaded guilty to stealing a computer and a CD that contained personal medical information of about 200,000 patients, a state Department of Justice spokeswoman said today. Joseph Nathaniel Harris, 44, of Riverside, faces 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine when he is sentenced in September. Harris managed the San Jose Medical Group's McKee branch from August 2004 to September 2004. San Jose Medical Group Chief Executive Ernie Wallerstein reported the theft of two Dell computers and the disk in March 2005. The loss prompted the physician's group to send a letter to about 185,000 current and former patients alerting them of the stolen material.
