Microbiologist found guilty
I found this story pretty interesting. It's from Science Magazine.

Huh. I'm kind of curious to know what all the charges were and which ones he was found guilty of. This was the closest I could get:
Of the 69 charges, Butler was found guilty of 47 offenses, including theft, embezzlement, mail fraud, wire fraud, and the unauthorized export of plague to Tanzania. Butler's good news? He [was] found not guilty of smuggling in the plague, filing a fake tax return, and perhaps most importantly, not lying to the FBI about the missing plague vials - the keystone issue of the entire case.

They hit him with everything in the book they could possibly stick to him!
Sending the materials through the mail, though, was not the brightest of ideas. Of course, if other researchers were placed under scurtiny, there would be a hell of a lot more arrests. |
