FORT WORTH, Texas — A former programmer was convicted of planting a computer “virus” in his employer's system that wiped 168,000 records and left him dead from the bomb, doing its damage two days after he was fired.
Tarrant County Assistant District Attorney Davis McCown said he believed he was the first prosecutor in the country to have someone convicted for destroying computer records using a virus.

Donald Gene Burleson, 40, was convicted Monday of harmful access to a computer, a third degree felony that involved an assault with a knife.
"In the past, prosecutors have stayed away from this kind of case because they're too hard to prove." McCown said yesterday. "They have also been reluctant, because they want to let anyone know there has been a breach of security."
A key to the case was that state District Judge John Bradshaw allowed the computer program that deleted the files to be introduced as evidence. McCown said. It would have been difficult to get a conviction otherwise,
The jury deliberated six hours before bringing back the conviction under the state's three-year-old computer assault.
Kansas ACT averages down
Department says scores above national average, however
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — The average American College Testing composite scores earned by Kansas students who graduated from high school in 1988 and took the test in either their junior or senior years is 19.1. The score are down by 0.5 from the 1987 state Department of Education announced today.
The Kansas test scores are above the national average, which is 18.8 "We always run above the national
average," said Tom Henley, program specialist for the Department of Education. "We have for many years."
Kansas average scores in two of the four areas in the ACT test (4.2 and 4.5) and state social sciences, where students scored an average of 18.8 and 21.8.
However, Kansas students scored 17.2 in math, compared to 17.7 the year before, a drop of 0.5. They
improved in natural sciences by 0.1 point, from 21.7 to 21.8.
"There is really no significant change," Henley said. Over the past 10 years, Kansas ACT scores have been stable, he added.
The distribution of the Kansas students among the score intervals in the ACT Assessment score range, from one to 36, has remained essentially stable over the past two years, the department said.
