Lawyers disagree over punishment in Sasser trial
John Blau writes in InfoWorld:
In their closing remarks on Thursday, the state prosecutor and lawyer defending the Sasser computer worm author disagreed on what should happen to the 19-year-old German teenager if he commits a crime while on probation.
Sven Jaschan has been on trial since Tuesday in the district court in Verden, Germany, where he faces charges of computer sabotage, data manipulation and disruption of public systems.
The state prosecutor is demanding a probation period of three years during which time the accused hacker, Sven Jaschan, would be required to complete 200 hours of public service, the court said Thursday in a statement. If, during the probation, Jaschan commits another crime, he would be subject to two years of confinement in a juvenile detention center.
Jaschan's defense lawyer, however, is seeking a confinement period of only one year, should his client commit a crime while on probation. The lawyer said the teenager had no criminal intentions when he created the computer worm.
