Again, here is @rcookajc's story about a publisher & his lawyer arrested in re: work done while reporting a story:http://www.myajc.com/news/news/local/newspaper-publisher-indicted-jailed-over-public-re/nrqgq/ …

To be clear, I'm not sure about everything going on here — specifically, exactly went on with this bank account subpoena.
-
Regardless of ~exactly~ what went on w/ the subpoena, tho, the ~charge~ requires "intent to fraudulently use" identifying information.
-
That does not to be present here — ABSENT the claim from Judge Weaver that she was afraid the publisher/lawyer would take from the account.
-
That's the only way that I see the identity fraud charges as being supportable. (I see no way to support the false statement charge.)

Annnnnyway, that's enough about Georgia & press freedom & legal ethics for now. Hard to get more info on a holiday weekend Friday evening!
