postheadericon Another Case Of Prosecutorial Bullying Against A 'Hacker'

As the tragic death of Aaron Swartz resides in our memory, there has been a renewed public interest in how prosecutors use the threat of prison more like a carrot (edit: I had to say " stick "through comments section!) to secure plea bargains. How to configure the system allows a scenario in which justice is no longer the goal. Instead, an injustice can be used in a strange kind of "the end justifies the means" Lady Justice game would mourn openly. With the odds firmly against any person who falls in the crosshairs of a federal prosecutor, he is a terribly unfair method to achieve justice, and what appears to be an excellent way to use them against hackers and hacktivists called.

But lest you think the Swartz case was an isolated incident, or if they could have a sort of domino effect, therefore, be noted that the Prosecutors in Barrett Brown appears to follow similar tactics. For those of you not familiar with Brown's spokesman proclaimed Anonymous recently arrested for threatening an FBI agent.
Brown was arrested and detained in September after threatening an FBI agent. In December 2012, was indicted by a federal grand jury for traffic safety functions "stolen" and "access device fraud" and "identity theft with aggravating circumstances."



Wednesday, Brown was beaten with a load of "hiding evidence" and a charge of "corruption to conceal the evidence."
How do
Brown "withholding evidence"? Apparently, "hidden" their laptop with dishes from his mother. Apparently, putting a laptop where the federal government does not seem obvious now "proof hide." not going to sit here and compare Brown and Swartz in terms of character. Not because they know or do not know enough about any of them to do so, but because that would miss the point entirely. I leave it to others to build the false justification of the character assassination. Instead, I prefer to focus on how the prosecutors seem to think that the initial charges, which could lead to 90 years in prison for Brown, were apparently not enough and decided to combine the latter accusation over another. Former Brown lawyer, Jay Leiderman, seems equally stunned.



"I have not seen a third load to come" Leiderman said Ars. "You would think that 90 years in prison had been exposed to it enough. Are we at a point in society where we think 90 years is not enough?"


Leiderman speculated that the new charge was a means of pressure against Brown legal.
As Ledierman will say at some point we left the field of persecution and instead hacktivists entered the kingdom
Find best price for : --Leiderman----Brown----Barrett----Swartz----Aaron--
