'Spam King' Dead in Murder / Suicide

I am not a fan of spam. I try to keep things in perspective though. It is just email. I have filters that move it to my Junkmail folder without me having to ever see it. It doesn't really matter to me whether I receive 10 or 10,000 other than what impact it might have on my network bandwidth. So, I definitely think there should be laws against spam and that spammers should be prosecuted, but I think of 'spamming' as sort of a geek crime of a different class than say armed bank robbery. I was a little shocked then to find out that 'Spam King' Eddie Davidson escaped from prison a few days ago. It was only a 21 month sentence at a minimum security facility. In the grand scheme of potential punishment and incarceration options for a felony offense, Davidson's sentence seemed quite reasonable. I was substantially more shocked then to learn that he killed his wife, and his toddler daughter, as well as attempting to kill a teenage girl before turning the gun on himself and committing suicide.
