Petition: Charge DA Carmen Ortiz with Murder of Aaron Swartz
Authored by: PJ on Monday, January 14 2013 @ 06:29 PM EST
Don't waste your efforts on things that
can't ever happen. Rewriting the
Computer Fraud & Abuse Act is at least
possible.

Petition: Charge DA Carmen Ortiz with Murder...-Alternatives
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, January 14 2013 @ 07:54 PM EST

1) About the most she could be charged with is criminally negligent manslaughter due to recklessness.
"Criminally negligent manslaughter"  (Wikipedia article)

2) A better solution would be to put her on a list of law-and-order extremists that should be vigorously campaigned against whenever they seek elective office. (An opponent could refer to her as a "Red Queen" who has succeeded in collecting at least one head.)

The DA seems more likely to be a sociopath (sensu lato someone sans conscience or any empathy for other human beings, and willing to do anything to achieve her/his goals) rather than a criminal. On the other hand, I've heard it said that there are so many laws on the books that the average American unwittingly commits about three felonies a day, so maybe she is too.
