On the one hand, as someone familiar with software and computer systems, it’s hard to see the prosecution winning. And the acquittal could prove stinging for the guv and the prosecutor. On the other hand, 12 Missouri citizens and a few appellate judges could convict and uphold, making things much less safe on line in Missouri.

Sad this thing is still going on. What’s really up with the governor?

They are allergic to accountability it seems. That's why once it come out of their mouth, it is impossible for them to admit they fucked up. So double/triple/quadruple/quintuple-down is part of their playbook.

Those people then should all be scrutinized to see if they have ever viewed source in a browser. I'm betting a large portion of society including the prosecutor and the governor have viewed source in the browser themselves.
Parson wasn't an elected governor initially. He was the Lt. Governor from an appointed position previous election cycle. Governor and Vice Governor resigned due to a scandal, and Parson took office similar to how Ford did after Nixon. Parson did win 're-election' riding on former President Trump's coattails.
