"Fair" would entail her being hounded, persecuted, threatened,
prosecuted, *and* critisized.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The claim one must suppose is that 13 felony convictions and
jail time are
commensurate and perhaps necessary responses
to downloading a million academic
articles (from a source
that did not press charges), weighing the potential
that
such articles might be distributed against the reality that
they were
not.
Hey, I remember a guy who ran a "healthcare" company in the
90s while
it defrauded Medicare and other health programs,
gave kickbacks to cooperative
doctors and home care
agencies, etc. The company wound up settling a guilty
plea
to 14 felonies and paying $2B in fines, while said former
Chairman
and CEO got a $10M in cash, $360M in stock, and a
$1M consulting
contract to tide him over.
Fortunately he landed on his feet, learned his
lesson, and
is now governor of Florida.

Great quotes from Ortiz! She stepped in it, and now _she's_ the victim? She is
the victim of her own hubris. What's amazing is that she, and others, actually
believe they did nothing wrong. Even criminals know how an admission of guilt,
and an apology, go a long way towards reducing a sentence, or some form of mercy
from the court. Apparently, USDAs are so untouchable, that they can do whatever
they want. Perhaps they're afraid of a really big lawsuit. I hope there is one,
and they lose big time. In any case, here political aspirations are destroyed,
and she has only herself to blame.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
