There are also reports that someone with child porn on his hard disk got away because he claimed that the virus did it. The case I remember was in the UK, but I think there also was one in the U.S.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/04/24/trojan_defence_clears_man/ http://www.getreading.co.uk/story.asp?intid=6541 | Karl Schofield, 39, of Reading, was found not guilty after | prosecutors accepted expert testimony that the unnamed Trojan could | have been responsible for the presence of 14 child porn images on | Schofield's PC. One has to wonder when courts accept that GBP 500/day defence contractors can reasonably be expected to unknowingly have their computers infected with malware, what hope is there for the average user? Also, am I the only person who finds this statement a bit odd? | "I knew I would be found not guilty. It was ridiculous because there | was not one dirty mag or dirty video in the house I was living in | with my dad, mum and wife." -- Alan J.
