I wouldn't be so sure of that. Try reading the comments on any Boston globe article about this affair. Ortiz has strong support from law-and-order voters and many people in Massachusetts outside of tech; in addition to Swartz, she's been very aggressive in her prosecution of corruption and misconduct in the state government. She has a compelling back story and (at least before this) was blessed by Deval Patrick.

I think she could definitely replace Martha Coakley as state Attorney General, at minimum (Coakley also did many odious things as a prosecutor and has never, to my knowledge, paid a political price for it). And a decade from now, long after Aaron has disappeared from the press cycle, she'll make a run for Senate or Governor and his prosecution will likely be nothing more than a subsection of her Wikipedia bio. These are the sad realities of politics in Massachusetts.
