After having his resolve worn down by the government machine Kevin Mitnick signed a plea agreement last week in an effort to end his 4 year stay in prison. Unfortunately the government isn't going to make it that easy for him. Still having charges pending against him from the State of California Kevin has once again been denied access to the laptop he needs to review the evidence used against him. With gigabytes and gigabytes of data for Kevin to wade through, so as to provide for his defense for the upcoming state trial, and being denied access to the only means available to review that evidence, how can anyone say that this will be a constitutionally guaranteed fair trial?
