Aaron had a history of depression and suicidal ideation that long predates his prosecution.

He did. But it in no way excuses the way they treated him

  • He was treated poorly. But somehow a lot of otherwise-smart people think you should not charge a person who suffers from depression or suicidal thoughts.

    • "You are hereby charged with the offence of rape. How do you wish to plead?"

      "I am sad"

      "Okay, you are free to go"
