DENVER, Colorado (AP) -- A judge sentenced an Arizona woman to 60 days home detention for intercepting her husband's ex-wife's e-mail, saying the penalty is a warning to others who might be tempted to do the same.

"Privacy is still a cherished value," U.S. District Judge Richard P. Matsch said in sentencing Angel Lee, 28, of El Mirage, Arizona.

Should have been settled on Judge Judy.

I love when morons appear before Judge Judy! However, the best ones are young people who have no sense of responsibility or values. She rips them apart.

But another woman can sit, pregnant, by her common-law husband's brain-damaged wife's bedside, and prevent her parents and religious leaders from visiting her, and that's okay.

Now this guy will have 2 ex-wives!

It's pretty easy to do this --- I wonder how many are doing something similar that aren't getting caught.

All joking aside…your jokes which I love, as a little kid, I was reprimanded severely by Dad when I stupidly and arrogantly opened a letter not addressed to me. Never, ever again.

God help us.

Yeah, the only time my Grandma ever hit me was when I thought it would be cute to open a letter from my uncle's girlfriend. Ouch.

We learned the hard way didn't we? I don't even touch e-mail that is not addressed to me. A letter from your uncle's girlfriend? LOL!!! I was only guilty of opening a monthly bill or something so boring...never the less, it was not addressed to me so I was guilty. It was a good lesson to me to respect others property.
