My roommate had been charged with the same offense as myself, Class C
Felony Theft of Services (max 5 years/$5000). However, the only thing he
contributed to the whole matter was the fact that the telephone account
was in his name. The charges were dropped against him.
After almost two months of waiting, the sentence date came. I plead
guilty, playing on a deal that my lawyer had made with the state's
attorney. The sentence included restitution (which hasn't been determined
yet). The phone company is desparately trying to stick me with a large
bill, for services that cannot be proven that I had anything to do with; a
bill that could stretch up to $5000 (like hell if I'm paying that much),
and a very nice little clause called Deferment of Imposition. Basically,
I remain on probation until I pay back the restitution, at that time I can
go through hearings and prove that I haven't been involved in such
activities as for what I was convicted and the charges will not be placed
on my record. For the time being however, it's turning out to be monthly
payments with supervised probation. Needless to say, I, Docs Avage is
retired, at least as as retired as someone in my position can get."
Docs said that he had been looking to retire for some time and that this
incident was the final straw. He also added that he was questioned about
Jester Sluggo, Phrack Inc., and the Legion of Doom. He did not know anything.

Man Charged with "Infecting" Computers May 24, 1988
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fort Worth, Texas (AP) -- A 39-year-old computer programmer is being prosecuted
on felony charges of infecting his ex-employer's computers with an electronic
"virus," and face up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
Donald Gene Burleson faces a charge of "harmful access to a computer," and is
free on a $3,000 bond pending his July 11 trial.
Police described the electronic interference as a "massive deletion" of more
than 168,000 records of sales commissions for employees.
Burleson is thought to be the first person charged under the state law
prohibiting computer sabotage, which took effect Sept. 1, 1985, about three
weeks before the alleged incident, said Davis McCown, chief of the Tarrant
County district attorney's economic crimes division.

Jury Selection In First Virus Trial Begins September 6, 1988
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Taken from the Washington Post (September 7, 1988),Page C-1
Fort Worth, Texas (AP) -- Jury selection began today in the criminal trial of a
40-year-old programmer accused of using a computer "virus" to sabotage
thousands of records at his former work place. The trial is expected to last
about two weeks.
Donald G. Burleson faces up to 10 years in jail and a $5,000 fine if convicted
in the trial, a first for the computer industry. Burleson was indicted on
charges of burglary and harmful access to a computer in connection with
computer damage at a securities firm, said Nell Garrison, clerk of the state
criminal district court in Fort Worth. Through his lawyer, Jack Beech,
Burleson denies the charges but has declined further comment.
The firm has been awarded $12,000 in a civil lawsuit against Burleson.
Pretrial motions were scheduled to be heard today, followed by jury selection,
Garrison said.
Burleson is accused of planting a piece of computer software known as a virus
in the computer system at USPA&IRA Co. two days after he was fired. A virus is
a computer program, often hidden in apparently normal computer software, that
instructs the computer to change or destroy information at a given time or
after a certain sequence of commands. USPA officials claim Burleson went into
the company's offices one night and planted a virus in its computer records
that would wipe out sales commissions records every month. The virus was
discovered two days later, after it had eliminated 168,000 records.
