Given Aaron's history of depression, past blog posts about suicide, the stress of the trial, etc, I am sure that most people would not have been outraged. As long as the psychiatric hospital is believed to be impartial, their judgement would have seemed reasonable.

However the call to actually lock him up in the hospital CANNOT come from someone involved in the legal process against him. Allowing THAT would just lead to further abuses of power.
