I guess Lucky Larry isn't such a bad guy after all. Conviction in Oracle Case Upheld Associated Press Wednesday, July 28, 1999 6:32PM By WILLIAM SCHIFFMANN Associated Press Writer SAN FRANCISCO (AP) via NewsEdge Corporation - An appeals court upheld on Wednesday the perjury conviction of a former Oracle Corp. worker who had been found guilty of forging an e-mail to back her claim that she was fired after a relationship with chairman Larry Ellison ended. Adelyn Lee, 33, was convicted in January 1997 of perjury, falsifying evidence and breaking into a computer network after using the e-mail in suing Oracle. She was sentenced in May 1997 to a year in jail and four years probation. She also was ordered to pay Oracle $100,000 in fines and to have no contact with Ellison. The 1st District Court of Appeal rejected Ms. Lee's arguments that the San Mateo County Superior Court trial was rife with errors, that her counsel was ineffective, that the trial court erred in ordering restitution and in instructions to the jury on perjury. A message left for Ms. Lee's attorney, Gordon Rockhill, was not immediately returned Wednesday. The jury found that Ms. Lee used her boss's old password to break into Oracle's e-mail system the morning after she was fired from her job as an executive assistant at Oracle in April 1993. Ellison is one of America's richest people, with an estimated net worth of more than $9 billion, according to Forbes magazine. Oracle, based in Redwood City, Calif., is the leading producer of database software for businesses using computers or desktop machines linked in networks.
