i would say jstor are cunts, but actually it's the US government that were being cunts here.
Law Enforcement and the Justice System have every responsibility to enforce laws as they were written, JSTOR pressed charges and the US Government offered Auron a plea deal to reduce his sentence to 6 months.
Definitely an argument about the inadequacy of US Healthcare to be made here, though. Auron clearly could have used some counseling.
I thought there was a prosecutor who pursued this beyond all reasonable bounds, making Aaron's life a living hell and driving him to suicide?
Well if a Psychologist had helped him through it maybe he could have turned around and sued that prosecutor into disbarment.
EDIT: People are downvoting this, but TBH I wouldn't kill myself over a 35 year sentence much less the 6 months in the plea deal this guy got. Wouldn't consider it for a single moment. He had agency in his own actions.
yeah and maybe that prosecutor is tangentially responsible for his suicide now.
Spilled milk, but yeah that dude was a shill and should probably be dealt with if they haven't already.
The prosecutor went on to have a pretty successful career and I think had a role in Obama's administration. She basically said "I'm sorry your son killed himself" but never admitted to having a part in his death.
I'll take your word for it, never looked into it myself.
and the US government was almost definitely trying to make an example out of him: literally anybody who read the case details whatsoever.
Only prosecuting district attorneys can chose to bring a crimial charge to court.*
*except in north carolina... for some reason they actually let victims prosecute.
