LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - A co-founder of Dragon Con has reached a plea deal in a case that accused him and three others, including a judge, of illegally accessing a Georgia courthouse computer network. An indictment obtained in September charged Dragon Con co-founder Ed Kramer, Gwinnett County Superior Court Judge Kathryn Schrader, T.J. Ward and Frank Karic each with three counts of computer trespass. Kramer on Monday entered an Alford plea in the case, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. Karic agreed last month to enter a pretrial diversion program and Ward entered a plea deal and got two years of probation, the newspaper reported. When investigators seized Kramer’s electronics as part of that investigation they discovered files related to the judge on his computer, Porter has said.
