Although this timing may suggest the likelihood of prejudice as in Waldorf, in fact, the jury had already deliberated for two days so it is reasonable to expect that the jurors were well-informed about the evidence set forth at trial and about the different theories of the case by the time they learned of the "Love Bug." They said his actions amounted to possibly the most expensive case of computer sabotage in history. In 1996, for instance, companies spent $830 million on information security technology to guard against potential abuses, said Rick Maddox, vice president of sales for Network Information Technology in Saratoga, Calif., which produces internal security software. racking up $200,000 in bills. of Appellee at 8, he had no motive to commit the sabotage. Traditionally, appellate courts give considerable deference to a district court's examination of the prejudicial effect of extraneous information on a jury's verdict. position as a network administrator. Since Omega makes components for clients such as NASA and the U.S. Navy, those systems were the company's rainmakers. The Omega Engineering Logic Bomb An example of a logic bomb that was actually triggered and caused damage is one that programmer Tim Lloyd was convicted of using on his former employer, Omega Engineering Corporation. anticipated. He was later sentenced to ''It did and continues to do significant damage,'' Mr. DiFrancesco said. Altogether more than 1,200 Omega programs were lost and, according to government witnesses, not one of the individual computers had backups on their individual hard drives -- allegedly because of the "clean up" policy implemented by Lloyd in late June 1996. Although defense witnesses contradicted some of the government's assertions regarding those employees with supervisory-level access, Lloyd's likely termination, and his behavior at work, it was up to the jury to assess the credibility of witnesses and choose between the government's and the defendant's view of the evidence. In January 1998, Lloyd was indicted on two counts: (1) computer sabotage in violation of 18 U.S.C.

", some photos copyright 2001 photodisc With Novell, Omega was able to place all of its information on a central file server, which acted as a central storage device and allowed all the information on the server to be shared with other computers on the network. hacking skills to achieve social or political ends--to the Zapatista rebels through valid accounts that weren't protected by encryption, there has been enforcement to intercept wire and oral communications--was interpreted to Since leaving Omega, Mr. Kaigh said, his client has taken a similar job at a company near his home. in Bridgeport, New Jersey, logged on to a computer terminal. The web site for Mexican President Olson further testified that the "time bomb" was planted prior to July 30, 1996, and even prior to February 21, 1996, the date of the first test. Government witnesses testified to Lloyd's workplace behavior and even an expert testified that the same program that allegedly caused the "purge" of all the network files was also present on the hard drive of a computer found at Lloyd's home. He had worked there for 11 years, eventually assuming a position as a network administrator. App. Because access to the network was a necessary component of the crime of computer sabotage, implicit within the jury's guilty verdict was a determination that Lloyd had that access. We will not essay so long a logical leap." R. Evid. Omega nearly $10 million in lost sales.

The government introduced into evidence Lloyd's time cards from those dates, which showed that he had stayed late at Omega on those specific days or just days earlier. Ultimately, the jury convicted Lloyd on the count of computer sabotage but acquitted him on the count of transportation of stolen goods. We review a district court's grant of a motion for a new trial as well as its investigation of extraneous information for an abuse of discretion. In examining for prejudice, we must conduct "an objective analysis by considering the probable effect of the allegedly prejudicial information on a hypothetical average juror." Instead, the government emphasized that Lloyd only could have committed the crime before he was fired when he had direct access.

In discussing the "Love Bug" story in the District Court, the prosecutor accurately pointed out that "we are talking about a virus, we are not talking about a time bomb. Under federal computer sabotage laws, Lloyd could have received up to five years in jail. Accordingly, having found no evidence to suggest that Lloyd was prejudiced substantially by a juror's exposure to the story of the "Love Bug" virus, we conclude that the District Court abused its discretion in granting a new trial. arrested and charged in connection with the DDoS attacks. 1987). After the hearing, Lloyd moved for a new trial and the District Court granted the motion. See Gilsenan, 949 F.2d at 96 (finding noteworthy that the jury was exposed to the extraneous information "after the jury was instructed to decide the case on the basis only of the evidence and not extrinsic information, an instruction the jury is presumed to have followed").

The extraneous information at issue here -- a media report on a computer virus totally unrelated to the "time bomb" that occurred on Omega's network -- is of a less serious nature than even the information in Waldorf and the other cases where we declined to apply the presumption of prejudice. We have further recognized that a heavy "volume of incriminating evidence" also can undermine a claim of prejudice. information about their uprising to the public.

The government cites Lloyd's job interviews with W.L. The tag provided investigators with information on the transactions originated, telecommunications employees in Russia helped U.S. The defense contended that Lloyd could not have committed the act of sabotage because he did not have direct access to the system after he was fired and because he had no motive before he was fired, as his firing was without warning. This happened in the year 2000. at 907.
