    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.

    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.
