From what i understand, he has commited the crimes he's accused of. I;ve never heard him or his mother or his lawyer claim that he didn't do this, only that he has asbergers syndrome.

You cannot use the excuse of mental illness (especially when that mental illness is only diagnosed AFTER he got caught) to justify crime.

Saying that it''s okay to hack into the pentagon because you are looking for evidence of UFO's, how is that an excuse?

He should face the consequences for what he did. Personally i don't think he should receive a harsh sentence, i think he should probably get a large fine and probation, but he still needs to face a court for his actions.

You cannot use the excuse of autism or asbergers. these are not "*******" people think it means he is mentally retarded or something, he's not, he knew exactly what he was doing. people with autism and asbergers are not like people with downs syndrome.
