April 30, 2014 at 13:23A year-long joke in a computer game or forensic history
More than a year ago there was an article from soulburner about a guy who they wanted to prosecute for a joke in the game . Although, why "wanted"? The case is still pending ...
I recall that nineteen-year-old Carter from New Braunfels, Texas, who was a professional (?) Player in LoL, was arrested in February 2013 for commenting on Facebook:
Yes, many publications wrote that the dialogue took place in the game itself, but in fact it happened on the pages in FB. I think if this dialogue took place in the game itself, the guy would have blown away.
According to Carter’s lawyer, the remark was “sarcastic and satirical” in response to a message from one Facebook member in which the person wrote that Carter was “crazy.” Canada has creaked this dialogue and sent to the appropriate services. As a result, the guys went and arrested.
Perhaps many people are absolutely not interested in this situation. I followed how the story develops. Judging by the petition , the last pre-trial hearing was March 28th. After which there were no updates.
According to gamefront'y, the trial itself will be held on June 23. I wonder how the story ends. But judging by the fact that the case has been going on for more than a year, we can assume its outcome ...
