The entirety of his MIT stunt including the disguise captured on video when his academic home was Harvard with its own Internet connection helps to demonstrate mens rea AKA guilty mind. Thus making the prosecutor's job significantly easier, and should have negated a civil disobedience claim (not white line law but PR is important).
That MIT was materially harmed and should have never been dragging into (((Swartz's))) whatever is something ignored by the idiots who attack it for reporting his attack to the authorities.
And you're quibbling about plea bargaining, which is also not white line law but it is a very important part of how criminal law works today (although there are very strong arguments against it, but that's an infinitely broader issue than this one case).
