<A HREF="http://www.cio.com/article/190450/Spam_King_Trial_Set_to_Start_Next_Month">Notorious spammer Robert Soloway will get his day in court</A> next month when his criminal trial kicks off in Seattle.

Soloway was arrested in May and charged with sending out tens of millions of unsolicited messages; so many, in fact, that investigators called him the "Spam King," and his arrest was hailed as a major blow in the fight against spam. Many of Soloway's unsolicited messages were sent out using hacked "zombie" computers infected with botnet software, prosecutors allege.
