Aaron Swartz was never convicted for these crime, much less sentenced to 35 years. According to wikipedia, his maximum exposure was 50 years and $1 million in fines; he almost certainly would not have faced those in sentencing.
This is not to diminish the terrorist tactics of the prosecutors that lead to his death. ACAB
