Dunn continues to do whatever she can to try and prove that she is innocent
Former Hewlett-Packard chairman Patricia Dunn yesterday pleaded not guilty to felony fraud and identity theft charges
in a San Jose court room. Dunn, along with four others related to
the HP scandal that has rocked the computer world, are facing four
felony counts with each charge carrying a possible three-year
sentence.
To help defend against the four felony counts
and much public scrutiny, Patricia Dunn decided to take her story to
the Internet. The site, set up by her sister several weeks ago,
includes Dunn's congressional testimony and letters of support from
friends and colleagues.
Dunn has continued to claim her innocence ever
since the drama started grabbing national headlines. Former Chief
Executive Officer Carly Fiorina, a notorious CEO who has been far from
popular, began looking into leaks to the press in 2005. After
Fiorina was replaced, Dunn alledgedly broadened the investigation
until the source of the leaks was discovered. The Palo Alto
company then apparently hired an outside agency which obtained private
phone records through pretexting -- a practice involving the creation
of fake identities and deception -- and also went as far as looking
through journalists' garbage.
Pui-Wing Tam, a reporter for The Wall Street Journal,
is one of the journalists that HP carried out surveillance on. One of
HP's investigative firms also used pretexting to get Tam's phone
records for her home, office and cell phone. Tam also claims she had
her personal life investigated -- including her wedding, husband's life
and instant messaging logs.
