In the trial of Raphael Golb-
A Manhattan jury tonight threw the good book at an Internet bully who stole identities of his dad’s scholarly rivals and waged a cyber crusade against them. The panel deliberated for less than five hours before convicting Raphael Golb, 50, on 31 of 32 counts of identity theft, criminal impersonation, forgery and harassment in targeting academic adversaries of his pop, noted Dead Sea Scrolls researcher Norman Golb. Jurors rejected Golb’s argument that he was only exercising First Amendment rights. Defense lawyer Ron Kuby slammed the decision, saying that prosecutors had made a mockery of intellectual freedom.
It’s actually Kuby and Golb who made a mockery of intellectual freedom, and integrity!
Sentencing is set for Nov. 18.
i wonder if geoff’s headline will read: ‘golb acquitted of 1 count’ .

I wonder if Kuby would think this “made a mockery of intellectual freedom”, if it had happened to him. (Some) lawyers love to spout off and make grandiose statements that mean nothing.
