Original Note:
Prior to Schwartz’s suicide, prosecutors had offered Schwartz a plea bargain that would have had him serve six months in prison. Aaron Schwartz killed himself awaiting trial after having pled not guilty; he was never convicted of any crime nor sentenced to any prison term. https://www.boston.com/uncategorized/noprimarytagmatch/2013/01/14/mit-hacking-case-lawyer-says-aaron-swartz-was-offered-plea-deal-of-six-months-behind-bars/
