Michigan Man Faces Hacking Charges for Reading Wife's E-Mail
A Michigan man could spend five years in prison if he's convicted of felony hacking charges filed after he read his wife's e-mails on a laptop they shared. According to the Detroit Free Press, Leon Walker used his wife's password to log into her Gmail account on a laptop the couple shared. He found evidence that she was cheating, and they've since split up—but Michigan authorities have charged Walker with hacking, "relying on a Michigan statute typically used to prosecute crimes such as identity theft or stealing trade secrets." The case is making some legal experts queasy. Almost half of divorce cases "involve some snooping—and gathering—of e-mail, Facebook, and other online material." An electronic privacy expert said the law has never been applied to a domestic situation, and he suspects "there is enough gray area to suggest that she could not have an absolute expectation of privacy."

If I may... the question should be "why is our judicial system so retarded"?
The courts are filled with ludicrous lawsuits against each gender, corporations and government.
If you don't want to get married, don't. You don't need a reason.
Can't rep ya again...but this is right on.
