target=_blank>(Computerworld)</A> -- A Pennsylvania coroner has been charged
with giving illegal access to a county 911 computer system to local newspaper
reporters who then allegedly used his username and password to access a
confidential law enforcement Web site for information for their news stories.
<P>Lancaster County, Pa., coroner G. Gary Kirchner, 73, was <B><A

target=new>charged</A></B> Monday by the Pennsylvania attorney general's office
in connection with the incidents, which allegedly occurred between 2004 and
2005.
<P>"Publicizing confidential law enforcement information can compromise official
investigations and jeopardize the safety of witnesses or citizens who file
complaints," Attorney General Tom Corbett said in a statement. "Dr. Kirchner
breached the security of the 911 Web site and violated the public trust in order
to help a small group of reporters gain an edge over competing media outlets."
