OK but before we all get on the public shaming bandwagon, I ask whether you know for sure that Ortiz is the primary target of Lessig's (rightful) criticism here? I know Ortiz was involved, but Lessig doesn't explicitly name Ortiz in this article and he refers to the prosecutor as a "he".
And please pardon my skepticism if it is in fact Carmen Ortiz, but I'm not familiar with the case and I think a healthy dose of skepticism is a good idea whenever "internet justice" is called upon.

Lessig's probably referring to one of the two assistant district attorneys who did all the day-to-day work - their names are mentioned elsewhere in this thread. Carmen Ortiz is their boss.

Anyway, rest in peace Aaron.
