Court â?? Official statement part #1

Posted on July 2, 2014 by Will

As seen possibly here, or here i lost the Tor case and was sentenced to 3
years probation (instead of 3 months jail) and all fees (court and experts,
Assumption ~30000EUR, not less than 20k for sure).

The sentence is based on §12 which allows for anyone to be dealt with as
perpetrator (which is a pretty dictatorial law IMO) and this is based on that
i knew it *could* possibly be used for criminal activity (in this case child
pornography).

I wonâ??t write much more yet before i have the written ruling (i do not even
know my probation terms yet) but merely want to explain why i wonâ??t appeal
this sentence:

First would be that I simply canâ??t afford it anymore, donations covered a lot
of lawyer fees but i had to use my entire money on this case as well, iâ??m now
bankrupt and the garnishment (a rare word, DE: Pfändung) of my income (to pay
the 20k+ costs) does not help with it either. I have high medical costs as
well besides which are more important. Iâ??m not really interested in more
external funding due to taxation issues with larger amounts (and i do not
want *another* crime on me).  â?? Second is that i just want to be done with
this, i had now years of â??issuesâ?? (i would write â??harassmentâ?? but then i get
sued again for sure) (Ex: Citing my boss to the police for questioning (x3);
physically monitoring my boss in Vienna; citing friends to the police for
questioning (x2); confiscation of bank transaction data; Polish extradiction
threats for hacking cases there (x2); citing me for useless questioning
causing lawyer costs (x5+) etc. etc.) â?? Itâ??s now finally over and besides the
cost i CAN live with this sentence, it does not show up in police registers
and wonâ??t be an issue for work and alike in the future.  â?? Third is the
mental component, this years of â??horrorâ?? changed a lot up to me being
hospitalized (x3â?¦) with paranoid schizophrenia (which was a wrong diagnosis,
but still itâ??s not helpful if you HAVE to assume permanent monitoring of
everything), PTSD (among other issues) and now taking medication â?? It took
itâ??s toll, including me getting fired for being in the clinic/sick stay for a
long time, i just canâ??t afford to loose my job or go the clinic again even if
i actually should be still there.  â?? Fourth is the attention, media and
personal â?? I donâ??t really like any attention on myself, especially when
others should get it (like some public cause, Pirateparty or alike).  â??

So this is it for now, stay tuned for more in a few days.
