Injustice

Here's yet another example of how no good deed ever goes unpunished. This is this is the case of Stephen Heller, once an office temp at law firm Jones Day, who found incriminating evidence that Jones Day had warned client Diebold, that they were engaging in potentially illegal actions by using uncertified software in automated ballot boxes in California. Diebold went on to use the software anyway, which may have had an impact on the 2004 federal election. Jones Day didn't warn the state. Heller found the documents, brought it to the proper authorities, and the law got involved. Diebold was fired, and settled criminal charges out of court by paying a stiff fine.

Now, two years later, after the dust has settled, Jones Day has brought three felony charges against Heller. Seems like there's a personal price to pay in the US for standing up for democracy. Is this truth, justice and freedom? Is this the American way? More and more it is becoming the American way. The tools of the state are being horribly misused by Jones Day. They're exploiting the courts. The case should be dismissed and Jones Day should be punished.
