Edward Snowden's status as either a hero or traitor cannot be unilaterally determined by either his supporters nor his accusers. The case against Mr. Snowden that current rests in limbo not only determines his own fate and legacy, but represents a crucial argument that affects every citizen and resident of the United States of America. As such, it is imperative that he be guaranteed a public trial by a jury of his peers to guarantee both a fair trial for Mr. Snowden and to judicially determine the constitutionality of programs and practices that Mr. Snowden exposed.
