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 (Woods)
