File-Sharing Trial Goes To The Jury

Testimony has wrapped up in the first trial of an alleged file-sharing music thief in Duluth, Minnesota, and a verdict is possible as early as today. The defendant, who called no witnesses in her defense, is counting on a jury made up of people who described themselves as not computer-savvy to believe her contention that, despite circumstantial evidence linking her to the downloads, she was not the user who downloaded 1,700 songs without paying.
