As far as I know, most other companies investigations didn't reveal this type of evidence:

The prosecutor reeled off 10 reasons why the jury should find Reyes guilty of securities fraud, including a seemingly damning e-mail that Reyes wrote in 2004 to another Silicon Valley executive, former VeriSign chairman Jim Bidzos, exclaiming that "IT IS ILLEGAL TO BACK DATE OPTION GRANTS."

If anyone has more on the actual evidence to put try to put it in context, please fill us in. Ignorance doesn't excuse anyone, but intent is hard to prove, and such evidence helps the prosecution case that there was intent to commit fraud and any conspiracy type charges. Without this, it's hard to disprove it was simply an honest mistake, and usually people aren't thrown in jail for just that.
