Ortiz is not responsible for Aaron's death, even if she lied.
The real problem is the how the prosecution system is based on terror instead of on justice. Laws can be made less amenable to be used to terrorize, but as long as the deep roots of the system are based on terror, changing laws will not suffice.
The aim should be to fix the system and the laws that make the system, not only to fix each overreaching law at a time.
This besides the issue of whether or not making Ortiz pay is adequate.
- jacquesm 14y ago> Ortiz is not responsible for Aaron's death, even if she lied. She is not fully responsible but she - and Heymann - at least carry partial responsibility for pushing him as far as they did, and consequentially (at least in my opinion) carry partial responsibility for Aaron's death.
- koide 14y agoOkay, you can argue that, but the two huge responsibles of the suicide are Aaron himself and the terror based system, in that order.
- rooshdi 14y agoIn order to fix the judicial system, we need to fix the underlying system which molds it. Unfortunately, this very system encourages those in power to protect the status quo for personal status instead of societal. Thus, we find ourselves in a system which incentivizes egoism over the accessibility of information.
