Journalist Barrett Brown sentenced to 63 months in federal prison, must pay $890K in restitution | 22 Jan 2015 |A court in Dallas has sentenced Barrett Brown to 63 months in federal prison, minus 28 months already served. For count one in the case, he receives 48 months. For count 2, he receives 12 months. And for count 3, he receives 3 months. He is also ordered to pay $890,000 in restitution. The government's charges against the intelligence and security reporter stemmed from his relationship with sources close to the hacker group Anonymous, and the fact that Brown published a link to publicly-available copies of leaked Stratfor documents. Brown read a statement to the court during the sentencing hearing, and you can read that statement in entirety here.
