Three buried files. One label. A lifetime of punishment. Gregory Paul never expected forgotten LimeWire downloads to cost him everything. But when investigators found three buried files during an unrelated criminal investigation, the state did not see an accident, nuance, context, or the fact that no direct victim was ever tied to his case. It saw a monster.
