, or head of a startup, doesn't mean you get a "get out of jail free" card. It should be completely irrelevant.
Now, I don't think the laws Swartz broke are fair. But you seem to be implying he should of hot special treatment because he was special. That is not how the law should work.

- drzaiusapelord 14y agoI don't think you undersstood my post. Its a justification for suicide, not a plea for special treatment. There are few scenarios where I imagine killing myself and being given a long jail sentence is one of them. While this sounds dramatic, I have given this a lot of thought and accept it as something I would do. >That is not how the law should work. Lots of judges consider the crime and background of the convicted. There's a reason why a lot of white collar crime guys get minimum security or home incarceration.
