The only reasonable offer would have been to drop the ridiculous charges and stop persecuting a citizen for his non-criminal civil disobedience.

  I think you don't understand. He was certainly entitled to his civil disobedience (everyone has that option). You are also entitled to face whatever penalties under the law there are for the illegal actions you take. What he did was certainly illegal.

      Neither did John Gotti's. You could as easily claim Aaron's guilty because Carmen Ortiz thought so.

        Aaron's lawyers presented plausible arguments. Maybe he would have been found guilty at trial, maybe not. In no event was the outcome a certainty.
