Then perhaps the bigger issue, to me, is that this level of analysis is not given to other people, where it should be as well.
This is itself presumptive and I think largely wrong. Like most things it's a combination of factors. No doubt Aaron was struggling with depression, but facing federal prison with a trial defense costing $1.5M (even if acquitted in the end) is enough pressure to break even an otherwise healthy person.
I don't understand the need for people to frame this as you are.
I suspect Aaron would be alive today if the prosecution had shown some discretion. In this specific case, it would also have been the right/just thing as well as the legally correct thing.
