So if some girl or boy with popularity in school verbally threatens me or accuse me of being fat, stupid, a Jew, a religious nut, a christian or atheist or whatever and bullys me into suicide it is not their fault? What Aaron did was great, moral and maybe illegal but that doesn't warrant the 35 years of federal prison. Maybe days.

And before you say anything about the persecutor doin his job the elected Nazi Hitler were just following orderz and the law.

They killed him. And they knew he was at suicide risk. I would end my life rather than going to federal prison until I'm 65 for freeing tax payers research. Federal cases 80% conviction rate.

I hate the game and the players willing to play the game.

Why are you mentioning the figure of 35 years? According to the WSJ, the prosecution was planning to push for seven years at trial, and were willing to offer six months in exchange for a guilty plea. It's also my impression that many people end up being released early, so the actual time spent in prison would've been shorter.

You're making it sound like no big deal. Maybe by that time, the damage was done. Anyway, the real issue is the Orwellian pressure tactics used by the state to destroy a relatively powerless individual.

If you read what I wrote, I didn't say anything about "fault", as there is plenty to find with the actions of the prosecutors. What I said is that they're not murderers.

Also: Godwin fail.
