"Convicted penny stock e-mail hustler Eddie Davidson kills wife and
young daughter before taking his own life just four days after escaping
from a federal minimum security prison."

Hopefully, this will spur even more convictions and stricter sentencing.

Uh, jak, he had been convicted and sentenced. He escaped.
His conviction and sentencing didn't prevent a damn thing.
Maybe he should have been double secret convicted and
sentenced ... yeah, that's the ticket.

It certainly needs to convince law enforcement that spam is a real crime,
worth prosecuting, not just the virtual version of crank phone calls &
toilet-papering trees.

I don't see anything in any of the stories to suggest any history of
*violent* crime.

He certainly bilked people out of millions of $$ in direct theft and
probably many times that in the time & services he stole to advertise his
scams. And deserved a sentence far longer than 21 months.

But I suppose when we have violent criminals being released for lack of
space, we can't really be putting non-violent (or at least so we believed
at the time of sentencing) criminals in expensive maximum-security
facilities.

I think the percentage of snail mail I receive that is junk is much
higher than that. Will postage ever get expensive enough that grocery
stores will stop mailing weekly flyers?
