Benoit Wikipedia Hacker Police Video … Settlement?
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008
Yesterday the Stamford corporation counsel sent word, through the Connecticut Freedom of Information Commission ombudsman, that the Stamford police would agree to settle the case according to the terms I have outlined previously: “City will enable [Mr. Muchnick] to receive the subject record via a third-party out-of-state law enforcement agency, rather than directly from the City of Stamford.”
As of this moment, however, Stamford has not responded positively to my proposal on the details, which involve Stamford’s commitment to explaining all this to the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia and guaranteeing that the authorities there follow through on their earlier promise to forward to me — as soon as they receive it from Stamford — the complete, faithful, non-defective video of the June 29, 2007, interrogation of Matthew Greenberg, the “Benoit Wikipedia hacker.”
Stay tuned.
