Danny read the threads I linked.

Russ has verified with the lawyer that this is real. The defense fund was the idea of some members of this forum. Other Distributed computing teams are getting in on the help has well. You don't need to submit and funds, a simple, intelligent letter to Georgia would suffice.



<< This is David McOwen, dmcowen674@aol.com. I need everyone's help that possibly can. I worked at a school system 2 years ago that is part of the State of Georgia and was the configurator of the computers. They are now prosecuting me for Felony conviction with up to 15 yrs in prison and wanting $ 415,000. They are saying the Dnet client costs 59 cents per second for the Internet transmissions! If you or you know anyone that can help please contact my lawyer Mr. David Joyner at cdjoyner66@aol.com , phone number of the Law Firm 770-564-1600 . Beside my life and my family, the future of all that use the Internet and computers is at stake. Don't let them turn the good of computers into something so terrible. If it was so terrible it should be taken away from the world and not prosecuting one individual. People were panicking about rumors of the Govt tacking on a 5 cent surchange to supplement the Postal service because E-mail is taking away from their business and now the State of Georgia is saying E-mail costs 59 cents per second and this is not a rumor!

Also we need to know if anyone in the United States or the world has been prosecuted for this. We need to know for sure that they are setting this dangerous precedent, making me an example and everyone is next. They did not give me an opportunity to just turn the client off, they also said that there was no harm done after they turned it off. How can they call it a felony then and looking for nearly half a million dollars! Please help in any way that you can, whether by E-mails or any other support.

Thank you

<< Is there a possibility of a mailing address for donations ? >>





I think this is being addressed, cause I too rather mail in some cash and not start a paypal account.

I'm not a fan of Paypal myself. But, the law firm where Mr. Joyner, (David's lawyer), is employed also takes credit cards.

Ok thanks, I will wait for more info.
I just saw your post Russ, if possible I would still prefer a mailing address, simply because all my credit cards are NZ cards. Exchange rate and all that crap.

Geez, this is crazy. I dunno about the US, but in Australia they would call that &quot;unAustralian&quot;. (Pron: unostrayan. ;))

What's the best way of sending a donation from overseas? I've never heard of paypal.

TripleJ - you could probably get an International Money Order from your bank or a local Currency Exchange.

Okay, I just talked to their Office Manager, and it seems that Mr. Joyner wasn't quite correct when he told me they were accepting credit cards. They're going to be accepting them, but they're waiting on the equipment from their bank. She said about two weeks.

In the interim, if you'd like to pay by check, it would go to:

Kenney &amp; Solomon
ATTN: Tracy McAndrew, Office Manager
3675 Crestwood Parkway, Suite 110
Duluth, GA 30096
770.564.1600

Make SURE that you note on the check that it is for David McOwen's defense.

She is going to call me as soon as their terminal arrives, so I'll post once their ready for CCs.

EDIT: Corrected spelling of &quot;Duluth&quot;.:eek:

Doh, as mentioned in the other thread, I believe it's spelled DULUTH, GA.

Also a new link about the case being discussed on Silicon Spin! Props to phatstyl for catching it.

Yes, it is spelled Duluth, and I live about 30 minutes from there. I could go down to the State Offices and kick some ass, would that work?

Stop judging :|:|:| He hasn't said if he had permission or not. A lot of people here know him and support him. That speaks enough for his character.
