I agree with many of the comments here, along the lines of "intent?" and "bad law", etc... How can I provide material assistance to either this kid and/or to the problem at large?

I'm looking for something other than "donate to the EFF [or equiv.]" ideally though; I'd prefer to donate directly to his legal fund, or even do some legwork myself that will help, etc.

And ideally in a way that not only helps him, but that helps prevent these situations from occurring in the future -- i.e. working towards law change, influencing prosecutorial discretion (meh), etc...
