When fighting the institutions that write these charges, you are implicitly a target. Wouldn't be the first time someone was put in jail for the wrong crime. (I'm not convinced he's innocent but I have no problem believing the charges are made up)

Which is why "not being in accordance with the law" makes little sense in such cases, as the laws can be abused if the government really wants someone (i.e. Aaron Swartz & CFAA).
