and the rest of the post is pretty irrelevent being as 1. shoplifting and child molestation are not comparable and 2. computer hacking and child molestation are not comparable crimes either. The title of the thread tells you everything. You would be better off going back to the appreciation thread ............

I'm responding to stuff like "good riddance"

I never implied that they were comparable in severity. The fact is both what I did and what he did were legal problems. In my case I was innocent. In his case, who knows. My point was that even if you are innocent it's sometimes altogether best to settle, and it doesn't necessarily mean guilt. This probably happens more than you'd think. But even if you don't see it - how is the fact that the trial was destroying his life irrelevant??
