- Subject: MITNICK Pleads NOT GUILTY !!

- This is a status report on Kevin Mitnick, aka Condor, labeled by the
- New York Times as "The FBI's Most Wanted Computer Criminal" and by the
- London Observer as "The Worlds Most Wanted Computer Hacker".
-
- On June 17, 1996 (Monday), after more than a year of negotiation with
- the U.S. Attorneys Office, Kevin Mitnick entered a plea of NOT GUILTY
- before Federal Judge Mariana Pfeltzer in Los Angeles, California.
-
- This means that, in order to prosecute him, the FBI and US Attorney's
- office will have to air their dirty laundry before a federal jury,
- possibly jeapordizing their case in the process as well as risking
- indictment of several of their key people.
-
- Kevin Mitnick has hired Richard G. Sherman to represent him, noted
- criminal defense attorney and former partner of Gerry Spence, of Ruby
- Ridge (Randy Weaver vs United States) and Silkwood (Karen Silkwood vs
- United States) fame.
-
- An attorney of Richard Sherman's caliber does not come cheap. Your
- donations will make a difference in ensuring Kevin has the necessary
- expert witnesses and professionals at his trial. Please send what you
- can, as soon as you can, to:
-
- Law Offices of Richard Sherman
- c/o Kevin Mitnick Trust Account
- 2115 Main Street
- Santa Monica, CA 90405
-
- A summary of court filings, correspondence and personal comments from
- Kevin Mitnick will soon be available on this web site:

- (the opposite of takedown)
-
- Please stay tuned... and help Kevin fight this today!
