      People keep trying to convince me it’s not evidence of two justice systems.

       

      But it is.

      For the record, Aaron Swartz never actually went to trial, nor was he “sentenced” to anything.

      Federal prosecutors came after him with overzealous charges in an effort to make him accept a plea deal (they do that a lot), which he rejected. It would have gone to court where the feds would have had to justify the charges they were bringing.

      But that never happened because he killed himself.

      We don’t actually know how this all would have played out.
