Texas teen makes violent joke during video game, is jailed
<i>“These people are serious. They really want my son to go away to jail for a sarcastic</i> comment that he made <i>,” said the elder Carter.</i><p>I wouldn't admit to making that comment.  Make them prove that he was sitting in front of the computer when his <i>account</i> made that statement.  Did anyone else know the password?  Is his computer completely free of malware or unknown backdoors?  Could anyone be eavesdropping on the connection to the game server?  Is the game server completely secure?<p>For a crime that carries almost a decade in prison, confessing doesn't sound like the right legal strategy to me.
