- ALittleLight 3y agoEven the concept of a plea deal is morally atrocious in this and similar cases. The government threatens you with decades in prison in hopes of bullying you into pleading guilty where you are not. 6 months in prison is extremely inappropriate for what he was accused of. Threatening far worse to compel someone to accept a sentence they don't deserve is a crime orders of magnitude worse than anything Swartz was accused of.
