TechTV | Adrian Lamo Speakgy'* Leo Before Arrest e Page 2 of 2
oy He said ne intends fo turn nimselt in ater ne reviews the charges. Aitnougn
the FBI isn't saying what the charges are, Lamo said he thinks he'll be
allowed to know the charges before he turns himself in. He expects the
charges to be reasonable and he said he'll defend himself rigorously.
“This will not be a slam-dunk prosecution,” Lamo said. “[But] I'm worried. |
don't know what's going to happen.”
Lamo said he didn't know if he would be arrested immediately after he got off
the phone
“I's a shame it had to come to this.” he said. “I intend to show that this sort of
thing can’t be seen as a deterrent. I've done things that people see as illegal
and probably are illegal, but | don’t think I've done anything wrong.”
“I don't think things happen by accident. | don't think that I've done anything H
wrong. | don't think the FBI is doing anything wrong." he said.
Lamo said he was going to a safe place to review his legal options after he
had talked with us, although his lawyer has advised him to turn himself in as
soon as humanly possible. Lamo also said he intends to answer for his
actions.
If the FBI refuses to show him the charges, he'll continue to negotiate as a
reasonable person, he said.
“| appreciate all the support that I've gotten,” he said. “Having been there, |
would not change anything that I’ve done.... | hope the people out there
considering their own courses in life will not fet the people who want to
criminalize curiosity let them stop what they want to do."
