1. Do you really think this is such a simple case of someone fear of losing job and planted a logic bomb?
2. Do you think the prosecutor is telling the truth, nothing but the truth or fabricated the story to make it sounds more dramatic?
3. Do you know that there are a lot of innocent people in jail because they have little choice?
4. If it the 'logic bomb' did not go off. Do you anyone knows why it did not?
5. Is it true that Medco's business relied on only those 70 systems Lin had access to? Don't they have other computing platforms? What is the percentage of computing based on those 70 systems?
6. In the statements from Lin's previous attorney, it said that Lin was working on server retirement and he was trying to automate it. How much truth in that statement vs prosecutor's accusation?
7. If the bomb was planted in Oct 2003, supposed to go off on April 2004. But did not go off and was discovered on Jan. 1, 2005. Do you think this timeline sound strange?
