 SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - California Attorney General Bill Lockyer
said he has enough evidence to indict people at Hewlett-Packard Co.
(HPQ.N: Quote, Profile, Research) in an investigation into whether the
computer maker had illegally obtained the private phone records of
directors and reporters.

Lockyer made the remarks in a television interview that was aired
hours after HP Chairman Patricia Dunn said on Tuesday she had agreed
to step down, in a board shake-up aimed at defusing a deepening
scandal over the company's probing of media leaks.

"We currently have sufficient evidence to indict people both within HP
as well as contractors on the outside," Lockyer said on PBS's NewsHour
with Jim Lehrer.

"Crimes have been committed," Lockyer said. "People's identities being
taken falsely is a crime. People gaining access to computer records
that have personal information, in California, that's a crime."
