That's a pretty low blow. You can't just answer a suggestion that the criminal system has some value with this.
I didn't know the guy but I'm not sure that using his name to stifle debate is the best use of his legacy.
While we're here, I happen to disagree with what he did. I believe that publicly funded research should be publicly available but he went a lot further.
What was done to him was heinous and a terrible abuse of the US criminal justice system. And it rightfully brought it into disrepute. But it's going too far to say that it's the last word on the principle of criminal justice.
