[Edit: the article didn't say they charged him; I was wrong]
Well, that's how it looks to me, on the basis of a single report in a tech journal with a sort-of tabloid outlook. Maybe there will be more information in coming days.
The article explicitly says that the police did not charge him.
Cooperative people accused of non-violent crimes should NEVER be taken into custody until proven guilty in a court with fair trial.
He was definitely in a jam
Uh, so if someone set fire to a bunch of homes in a neighborhood, and there's video of them doing it, but they did it knowing the homes were empty, they should just be left free until the trial is over? I'm sorry but I feel like a lot of online comments on criminal justice are very shortsighted
