I replied to your top-level comment, but I'll just emphasize here, that Kerr himself does not agree with your assessment that "there really doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the law here".

He also doesn't agree with your opinion that there's nothing wrong with the way prosecutors use plea bargaining.

He does argue that Aaron knowingly broke the law and should have faced some consequences, but probably not felony charges.

Really, you should read Kerr more carefully before linking to him.
