-Caveat Lector- http://www.cluebot.com/article.pl?sid=01/08/25/1849248 Jim Bell Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison posted by admin on Saturday August 25, @01:37PM from the do-not-taunt-happy-fun-federal-agent dept. Internet essayist Jim Bell has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison. On Friday, U.S. District Judge Jack Tanner ruled that Bell would serve two consecutive five-year terms for stalking IRS Agent Jeff Gordon. Bell has maintained he was investigating abuses of power on the part of the IRS, such as the agency's admitted infiltration of a political party. Tanner also fined Bell $10,000. After Bell is released around 2010 (he was arrested about a year ago, which should count toward time served), he'll be on probation for three years and subject to regular searches and other restrictions. Those include no contact with Gordon, limited Internet access, and a ban on Bell using a pseudonym online after his eventual release.
