We are talking about tens of thousands of people blaming her to be a major factor in someone's death, and wishing to force consequences on her without there being an opportunity for her to make her case.

I have never met either Aaron Swartz or her, but I do know that both, the prospect of a ruinous trial as well as the prospect of being blamed for someones death and being publically shamed out of my position by an angry mob would put me under a huge amount of psychological pressure.

And the worst possible "consequence" is that she has to find another job. Again, no comparison to what she was putting Swartz through.

Being forcibly removed (as in not asked to resign as is usual in the government "circles") would probably have a disastrous effect on the rest of her career, or lack thereof.

Yeah, again, no comparison.

It seems there is no point in arguing, since it gets continually ignored but once more: Being made responsible for the death of a person is a bit harsher than "getting fired".
