This is the second time you have made the statement "suspended for aiding a 
series of break-ins in progress."  Yet when we ask you about the alleged 
cracker making the break-ins, you say that you can reveal nothing because an 
investigation is in progress.

I'm sorry that it took me a day to notice the discrepancy.  

You have already tried, convicted, and sentenced a student in a court of 
academic justice for aiding someone who apparently has not been charged by 
any academic or state judicial system.
