13 Felony counts? I can only express outrage and spew vitriol towards
U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz. She so desperately wants to put her name
out front hoping to win the next Governor's election and she did just
that, but unfortunately, at the expense of beloved Aaron Swartz's life.
MIT & JSTOR refused to press charges; potentially, misdemeanors for
downloading documents for free public access & possibly violating a
TOC. But Scott Garland, the other prosecutor (lap doggy), and Carmen
Ortiz pursued Aaron by digging deep into their own interpretation of the
law to manufacture new and more serious charges against him. Carmen
Ortiz and her minions continued to badger Swartz by harassing this
brilliant & heroic young man until his death by suicide. The
government should have hired him rather than make him a criminal.
I wonder which murderer, child abuser or rapist the DOJ planned to
spring from the overcrowded prison to make room for an open-source
activist. This is just so wrong on many levels!

May you R.I.P. Aaron Swartz.
