Yes, that's what makes me quite trusting of his claimed motivation. Weev is one of the less sympathetic defendants you can find in this case in general, and is not aligned with Kerr's own politics or personality either (Kerr is generally a moderately conservative guy, in favor of law-and-order but with strong safeguards for liberty). That leads me to suspect that Kerr is especially worried about the precedents here, much more than he's worried about Weev's own fate.
