Unlikely. You can accomplish a lot more things by being alive than becoming a martyr for a cause. Though some causes may be so big that most people consider their own death to be small price to pay for accomplishing them. This one doesn't strike me as something meeting that bar.

Arguably, Attorney General thought that it _was_ big enough for that. 30 year sentence is a de-facto life sentence.

Sentence of $BULLSHIT years is not going to convince me that you are right. It is likely a product of peculiar corruption of the american justice system, that of overcharging suspects for all sorts of ridiculous crimes for the sake of pressuring them to settle without trial.
