U.S. Appeals Court Partially Overturns Conviction in Cyberstalking Case Involving Former K&L Gates Attorney

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has partially overturned the convictions of a former K&L Gates attorney. Initially convicted on three counts of cyberstalking and harassment, the attorney saw one of these counts reversed after the appellate court found inadequate evidence to substantiate the accusation of making “true threats” towards one of the accusers. This decision reflects the nuanced interpretations of evidence required in cases of online harassment. For more details about the case and the court’s decision, read the report on Law360.
