Ortiz is simply trying to undo the damage she has already done.
Well, Ortiz, lemme tell ya sumthin' -- it ain't gonna work.
First of all, the statement reeks of PR tinkering. When every single source points to Ortiz and her cronies pursuing maximum sentences and intimidating Swartz, she comes out with a sorry excuse of an apology that denies it. Also, the 6 months plea deal would be only under one condition, and that is if Swartz acknowledged everything that the gubmint charged him with, which was still a major tarnish to his rep. So what did Swartz do? He had integrity and stood up for what he believed in, and then Ortiz pushed on with defiance. I recommend watching this YouTube video -- seems like Swartz' position is eerily similar to the other protagonist's (and if you haven't watched the movie, you simply must): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKAxnB6Ap4o
If only Aaron had Al Pacino standing up for him...
By the way, this isn't the first time Ortiz has been a major pain in the neck. A quick Google for "Tarek Mehanna" should be enough to affirm the opinion that Ortiz is a tyrant.
