HP Chairwoman Patricia Dunn pleads not guilty

Who's Sorry Now?

She's already apologized...and now she's pleading not guilty for spying on employees, press, and the Board of Directors. Did you see her very weird interview on 60 Minutes?

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Patricia Dunn, the Hewlett-Packard Co. chairwoman forced out over the company's ill-fated spying probe into boardroom leaks, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to four felony identity theft and fraud charges.Testifying before a congressional panel in September, Dunn said she was repeatedly reassured by HP's lawyers about the legality of its detectives' subterfuge.She resigned from HP's board after the scandal broke in early September. The two-time cancer survivor recently began chemotherapy for ovarian cancer.

Kevin Hunsaker, HP's former ethics chief who allegedly directed the probe, pleaded not guilty last week and was released.Three private investigators — Ronald DeLia, Matthew DePante and Bryan Wagner — have also entered not guilty pleas and were released.
