Being pressured with multiple years in prison, 13 felonies and a 7 figure defense cost is a difficult problem to face. Even if your lawyer tells you 30 years in prison is not going to happen and worst case you'll be in prison for a year -- Even if he wasn't actually facing it - he was still being pressured with it (that's essentially the purpose of stringing together multiple charges for a plea).
- danielweber 13y agoIt's not "basically allowing public access." MIT was actively and repeatedly kicking him off their network, and it got to the point where Aaron gave up and resorted to physically trespassing to regain access. Facing criminal charges is indeed difficult. You don't need to make up stuff to make the problem sound worse than it is.
