The law requires intent and a crime. If you cannot tell me which specific crime, your argument is invalid.

Why you are having a hard time understanding that "we put him in jail because we don't like what he did" is wrong I have no idea. You must be a troll disagreeing on purpose.

His crime was obtaining information he knew he shouldn't have been accessing. He didn't get out in jail because someone didn't like what he did, he got put in jail because he broke the law.
That's not a crime, which is why I asked you to point out the appropriate legal code. You are now considered a troll. Have a nice day.
Actually it is. He was found guilty.
Oh, I see the problem now; you have no conception of how the law works and no inclination to learn it.
