If you use a computer to commit any type of crime, not only can you be charged for the offense itself, you can also be charged with a separate crime for using a computer to commit the offense. The offense of using a computer to commit a crime generally carries more significant sanctions than the underlying offense.
This law greatly increases the complexity of the case. In many circumstances, a conviction at trial for the underlying offense will also result in a conviction for the offense of using a computer to commit the crime. These types of charges make the process of negotiation difficult. We are experienced in these types of negotiations and the trials that can result from negotiations that do not result in an acceptable agreement.
