📅 - One of the US's first felony spam convictions has been overturned after a judge ruled that the jury had been misled by the case's technological terms.
Jessica DeGroot and her brother, Jeremy Jaynes, were sentenced to jail earlier this year after they were found guilty of spamming offences. Judge Thomas D. Horne ruled this week that there was no "rational basis" for DeGroot's conviction and said that the anti-spam law used to convict the pair had confused the jurors. Horne said the jurors were likely "lost" in the law, according to court reports. DeGroot was sentenced to pay $7,500 after the pair were found guilty of sending thousands of emails to AOL addresses in 2003, while her brother served nine years in prison for spearheading the spam operation.
