I think that on balance, our legal system works well; if it is done right. This is such a high profile case, I think the judge will be on top of things.
The worst thing is the federal prosecutor is the same person that botched the Aaron Swartz case. I hope they have a better approach to this case.
If they do it right, we will learn as much as we can about their motivation and methods and anybody else who was involved. I hope they lock him up for life - if he is found guilty and executed, then he will be a martyr for some. I'd rather he live with his conscience and remorse for the rest of his life. It also costs a lot less to just lock him up for life.
