Judge drops charges against ex-HP chief

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

A judge dropped charges Wednesday against former Hewlett-Packard Co. board Chairwoman Patricia Dunn, who was accused of orchestrating the boardroom spying scandal at the Silicon Valley computer company.

Now that’s just great! The small ones must hang and the big ones go…

Wouldn’t you agree that she did wrong, knew she did wrong and now she is getting off…

Leadership? Ethics? Morals?


There goes another day when many will lose their trust and believes in the system.

What’s next?

    I guess it would be a lot easier for our justice system to actually use the scales of justice to lump the rich and important with their own set of rules, and the poor and infamous with their own set rules. Had this even been the custodian from the same company commiting the same crime, I bet he’d behind bars regardless of cancer, but I guess that’s just the way the apple falls.

    That is pretty screwed up, but unfortunately not surprising. There’s a lot of this type of thing going around in the corporate world (Siemens kickback scandal in Europe) to the political world.

    There is a distinct trend towards corruption driven from the top with pleanty of plausible deniability, and when that fails, information overload deniability.

    I think Patricia Dunn may not survive a trial. I suspect that this had more to do with the dropping of charges than any other thing.

    Interesting that you mention Siemens.

    That came a few months after the big scandal and a rather useless trial against the managers that were involved in the takeover of Mannesmann by Vodafone - making a handful of managers some 24 Mio Euro.

    I think Patricia Dunn may not survive a trial. I suspect that this had more to do with the dropping of charges than any other thing.

    I think that is a darn lame excuse. There are thousands of trials against very sick people; some of them die during the trail. What does that have to do with anything?

    Get real for crying out loud!

Because I value your thoughtful opinions, I encourage you to add them.
