Sad times, sad times
I suppose it's how he went about it.
If it was HIS computer that he let her borrow, and he had a keylogger on it or something, he might have gotten away with it.
Or if he read her email but then went to the rendesvous point and caught her in the act.
It's like if she used the phone, he can't listen in but he can see the bill and the numbers dialed.

I doubt he will be convicted unless he physically changed the password.
And when it comes to "He said, she said" none of will know which one is the [censored].

I'm not sure how he went about it, how he got the password or if it was a shared computer, but the fact they are married tells me that it should be no crime to log in to your spouse's email. This suggests that they shared the computer, "Privacy law writer Frederick Lane tells the Detroit Free Press the law typically is used to prosecute identity theft and stealing trade secrets. He says he questions if a wife can expect privacy on a computer she shares with her husband."
yep thats jacked up.
they used to stone adulterers
now you get in trouble for catching one???

Well I'll tell you all something. I used a keylogger program when I got suspicious of my ladies online activity. And you know what? Glad I did. I got every single email, IM, password and other info that she was sharing with another guy. Needless to say, she has since left. It was MY computer in MY house, on MY bill that I paid. It gave me her passwords, his email addy, etc.. I used it to MY advantage. When I confronted him before I confronted her, both were in a state of disbelief. It was a big "how'd he do that" moment.

The wife had given him her GMail password.
This is a strange case and I am curious as to what precedent this follows or will create and what are the boundaries of privacy expectations.

That's some hardcore stuff. You are lucky you didn't have a similar AG as the guy in the news

See I am with the guy on this, but it does pose an issue.
The computer was his, possibly paying for the internet, and the bills that power the machine. Google/GMAIL is on the "cloud" meaning it doesn't exist on that machine but in essence in space itself. That space belongs to Google.
Secondly she gave/wrote/provided the passwords in a pad next to the machine. He is in the right to be able to check it. Next thing you know its going to be illegal following your wife on a hunch that she's cheating and taking pictures of her leaving a rat motel and buttoning her blouse.
If she is victorious in this case, I think we all need to really re-assess where are justice system stands and how boned we are in the future.

There is an illusion that e-mail is private. It isn't. There is no sealed envelope, and no guarantee of privacy. Just a note that may travel all over the world, thru 13 servers, and several points of hackability. I agree that the world is upside down when a cheating spouse is caught violating a legal and ethical bond and the catcher becomes the catchee.
