"We are going to jail you for half or more of your life, restrict any medicines you might be on, treat you in deplorable conditions, constitute you as a slave of the state if we decide so". And there is no parole in federal prisons.
Feds did NOT have to choose to go the route they did. Their pursuance of a victimless "crime" lead to Aaron's only path was 'Exit'.
Sure, he committed suicide. Why? Because his life was already significantly threatened with what amounts to torture by prison.
JSTOR didn't want the criminal charges
But Carmen Ortiz did.
The feds are not JSTOR now are they? Your discourse is disgusting and only weakens the cause.
I started typing out something but they're foaming at the mouth and wildly ignorant about nearly everything ranging from the basics of how the US criminal trial system works, PACER fee policies, the fact that prosecutors spent a year negotiating with Schwartz over a plea deal with a final offer of 6 months...a deal he refused against the advice of friends, family, his partner,
Any time someone starts shrieking "half his life" you can assume they don't know a single factual thing about the case.
From the tone, ignorance, drama, and attitude I'm guessing they're about 22 years old.
