SDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 16 – Medghyne Calonge
is accused of intentionally
damaging the computer system
of a New York-based company
after she was
fired.
A trial
approaches was held in the
first half of August before
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Gregory H. Woods. Inner
City Press which has filed
with Judge Woods for unsealing
of judicial documents in
another matter, followed the
case.
Now of August 16,
guilty verdict against
MEDGHYNE CALONGE, on one count
of intentionally causing
damage to a protected
computer, and one count of
accessing a protected computer
and recklessly causing
damage. Both counts
relate to CALONGE’s deletion
of tens of thousands of human
resources records of her
former employer.
Federal
Defenders, representing
Calonge argued to preclude the
government from
cross-examining Calonge about
her prior conviction in 2008
(for "uttering a forged
instrument") and the conduct
underlying her 2002 arrest for
obtaining property or services
in return for a worthless
check.
Now on July 28
Federal Defenders have
submitted to Judge Woods a
stipulation with the "Victim
Company" which would allow
Calonge to "make use of the
document at trial without
limitation" while allowing the
Company to contest the filing
of the document on ECF.
But once it is
used at trial, isn't it a
judicial document? Watch this
site.
The case
is US v. Calonge, 20-cr-523
