    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.

          Spilled milk, but yeah that dude was a shill and should probably be dealt with if they haven’t already.

            The prosecutor went on to have a pretty successful career and I think had a role in Obama’s administration. She basically said “I’m sorry your son killed himself” but never admitted to having a part in his death.

              I’ll take your word for it, never looked into it myself.
