Aaron Swartz's Partner Accuses DOJ Of Lying

• rbanffy 14y ago
  I found the comments supporting the prosecution, implying Aaron expected to walk because he was rich and white, rather shocking. He expected to walk because he did nothing wrong (according to both MIT and JSTOR)

    MIT settled the civil charges out of court. That's not the same as saying he did nothing wrong. Then, once the federal prosecutors got involved, MIT wouldn't accept a plea bargain that didn't include jail time.

      You are right. That doesn't make the comments less shocking.
