Patricia Dunn, the former chairman of Hewlett-Packard, and three others who were involved in Hewlett-Packard's boardroom spying scandal were allowed free after a plea deal was reached. Dunn was forced to leave Hewlett-Packard for her part in the spying scandal, did not enter a plea when faced with a misdemeanor charge of fraudulent wire communications. Kevin Hunsaker, the former head of corporate ethics at HP, and private investors Ronald DeLia and Matthew DePante, pleaded no contest to the same charge. Once the conditions of the plea deal are met, none of the defendants will have a criminal record.
