Kevin Ronan said he bought the camera to ensure that midshipmen who stayed at his Annapolis house as part of a sponsor program were not throwing parties while he was away. But when his expected deployment fell through, he used the device solely as an air purifier, Ronan said....

<p>CNN, MSNBC, and the rest, however, continue to tank. :D</p>
<p>So the good Dr. has been found guilty. Interesting, but I still think we're missing a bunch of facts. </p>
<p>You know, I try and put myself in the position of this guy. After all, he's only a year older than I am. I try to think what could possibly possess me to do what he's been convicted of doing, and I come up with zilch for an answer.</p>
<p>If the Jury was correct, then this guy is just plain sick. It'll be interesting to see what the sentence is. Bloody well ought to be a PARAGRAPH for what he did and the bad press he's generated for the Academy. :mad:</p>
