even overseas in England and Russia.
lt was an amazing spectacle...
and more people learned
about Kevin's plight than ever before.
his fourth year behind bars come and go...
we felt like we were getting somewhere.
Excuse me? What are you doing?
And in the end,
Kevin did what he had to do...
to avoid spending
the next 10 years behind bars.
You're watching Southern California's
CBS 2 News at 6:
30.Good evening. l'm Gretchen Carr.
Ann Martin is off tonight.
And l'm Michael Tuck. Up front at 6:30...
a guilty plea by notorious computer hacker
Kevin David Mitnick.
Juan Fernandez joins us live...
from the Federal Courthouse
in downtown LosAngeles.
He was the first computer hacker...
to make it to the FBl's Most Wanted List.
And after a long battle
with the federal government...
the 35-year-old man
from the San Fernando Valley comes clean.
His computer crimes apparently
cost companies millions of dollars...
although Kevin Mitnick
never admitted to them until today..
ending a four-year battle
with the federal government.
This is a very serious crime.
The federal government
takes this crime seriously.
We will prosecute hackers...
particularly when they cause
significant amounts of damage.
Mitnick nowfaces 46 months in jail.
He's already served eight months,
and according to his attorney...
with good behavior, Mitnick
might only have to serve one more year.
Mitnick will pay for his crimes
for the rest of his life.
Although his attorneys say
he has no money...
to pay restitution
to the companies that he hacked...
that doesn't mean
that they won't go after him later.
lt was as if we hadn't said a word.
l pray that they never wind up
in the legal system.
l pray that nobody does.
But the thing is that if they do...
right nowthe way it stands,
the cards are stacked against them.
lt's not about fairness.
lt's just about the way
the legal game is played.
the O.J. Simpson case...
because there's no comparison here...
but here's a case where a defendant
had basically an unlimited budget...
and look what that legal team accomplished.
l'm not saying you need a lot of money
to get off for something you did.
l'm saying it doesn't matter
whether you did it or not.
The case, the legal system...
the justice system isn't about what you did
or what you didn't do.
lt's about either the government
is going to win the case...
or you'll win the case.
That's all that matters in the case.
lt isn't all that matters morally
l'm just saying in the court system,
that's all that matters.
The prosecution will do
whatever they can do...
to win a case...
and you have to do the same thing
or you will lose.
You know, this is no longer
about what the law allows or doesn't allow
This is about how do you make it
as difficult as possible for the defendants...
to get them to roll over or cop a plea.
lt has nothing to do with justice anymore.
God help you
if you get stuck in that system...
because it's very easy to get in...
and it's almost impossible
to get out unscathed...
because you're up against an adversary...
that has everything going for it
except maybe the truth.
And, unfortunately,
that doesn't count for much.
So, that's the way it is.
lf the legal community
doesn't wake up shortly...
we're gonna have more people locked up...
than we know what to do with.
A lot of them are going to be kids.
Unfortunately.
l don't think it ended.
lt turned into this huge controversy
that went on until now
But there weren't any more stories
in the New York Times about it.
What would you think
that we should have reported? l mean....
l appreciate everybody taking the time
to viewthis film...
l appreciate everybody taking the time
to viewthis film...
which was a tremendous effort
on the part of Emmanuel Goldstein...
and everyone on the 2600 staff.
And l want to offer...
my sincere appreciation and gratitude...
for the tremendous moral support
throughout this five year ordeal.
