Posted: Wed Dec 18, 2013 5:28 pmHe was probably only going to face a little jail time and all those journals went public anyways. He killed himself because he had a history of depression. It's unfortunate, but you can't blame anyone else for his death.

Posted: Wed Dec 18, 2013 5:51 pmWe don't even know how much time he was going to get. He killed himself before it even went to trail. I blame government for a lot of things, but this guy chose to kill himself. I'm sure his prosecution influenced his decision, but so what? Was the government supposed to treat him differently because he had a history of depression? I agree, they were being too aggressive, but that killing yourself is not a logical reaction to that.
