His Own Worst Enemy SecurityFocus reports that an alleged eBay hacker has chosen to defend himself in court... but it's not turning out to be the trial of the century. In preliminary hearings, he argued that the all-caps name in the indictment didn't match his name's capitalization, and demanded that the plaintiff be presented... "[Judge] Ware asked him who, exactly, he wanted to bring into the courtroom. When Heckenkamp replied, "The United States of America," Ware ordered him taken into custody." The outcome? Bail was revoked, and he'll wait for the trial in a jail cell.
