Actually, at least to read comments here - many are saying or implying that. Over the last few days, I've read many comments that ignore and/or gloss over any underlying depression and state, almost as unequivocal fact, that the actions of the US Attorney and her Assistant Attorney are precisely and solely to blame for driving him to suicide. I've seen calls to sue them personally, consider what it would get to have them charged with manslaughter, calls to remove them, to sue MIT, to sue JSTOR, to sue law enforcement officials for following valid warrants, etc, issued by the court and US Attorneys.
Very few people are saying that the prosecution alone caused his death, as if an attorney broke into his apartment and killed Aaron. People are unhappy because they think the prosecution went too far, and to a man whose depression may leave him acting irrationally,mad you say, that could have been the major trigger
