I've said it before and I'll say it again and again, fuck Carmen Ortiz, such an senseless tragedy. What else was he destined for, he was so young but left such a great legacy.

Aaron was threatened with multiple decades to coerce him into taking the deal and giving the prosecutor the win they wanted.

He didn’t though. He wasn’t charged with the crimes. He could’ve gotten half a year if he took the deal

Read The Dictator’s Handbook to understand why.

Hint: Those who threaten the aristocracy who are not of the aristocracy suffer greater punishments than do those who are part of the aristocrat class.

You’re comparing apples to oranges. Epstein was actually sentenced to 18 months. Swartz was facing charges that, on paper, could lead to a decades-long sentence, but there was no chance that he would actually receive a sentence that long. The plea deal they offered him was six months in prison.
