>> He's obviously biased

Judging by your throwaway account and incendiary comments, it seems you would know a thing or two about bias.

The expert witness cited established his credentials while presenting his viewpoint. I'm sure his assertions could be disputed, but he was upfront about his background and professional opinion.

You, on the other hand, are currently an anonymous Internet troll.

If you condemn my assertions because I'm anonymous, then you must condemn Aaron's actions for the same reason, for he did them anonymously also.

Incidentally, the "expert witness" said a bald-faced lie, that Aaron did not try to hide his tracks. It is not a "disputed assertion."

Ignoring most everything going on in this thread:

I'd be very interested to see citations for this evidence that Aaron Schwartz did try to disguise himself, and the details of that disguise. That evidence does change the discussion, and it is important that we see what you are talking about.
