"Judge Sciarrino's order, which managed to quote both Wikipedia and
'Hamlet,' meanwhile served as something of a primer for the
technologically challenged."
It's quite common for Wikipedia to be cited for background information
by both judges and lawyers. I'm not sure I would do so personally...
I'd never heard of that happening.
As for that specific case, how is that newsworthy? Who
would ever
think that contacting someone on MySpace didn't constitute contacting
them?
No clue. I'm not so much interested in the case itself, more the fact
that the judge cited Wikipedia in his order.
