+1, well put :)



i would agree with that if it was to be reciprocated
but sadly that is not the case as its just a one way avenue
and that avenue runs directly too the USA not to the UK …


That's very true and point taken, but I'd have him sent anyway just cos you shouldn't fcuk with the big boys no matter how matter how blatantly stupid they are :lol:

Also, it feels like this process has been running my entire life :oops:

I've just spotted that I needed to replace my keyboard batts and have done so ;)

No, I mean he deserves to go cos everybody knows how the Yanks get about these things and he deliberately antagonized them. I'm also not buying the Aspergers bit...

Perhaps what they should do is give all of us who are thoroughly fed-up with the entire situation, the chance to line up and give him a good slapping!! It wouldn't be the death penalty but it'd make me feel a whole lot better about the justice system.

Just how much court time and tax payers money is one man allowed to waste on repeated appeals?
Stick him on the next flight.... job done.

As much as the law allows. That's why we're supposed to have a fair and impartial system - so that anybody can use it to its fullest extent.

McKinnon is fighting being singled out by a government intent on hiding its embarrassment that despite the billions it has spent on security it hasn't secured anything. He's being used as a scapegoat and the government and courts that are supposed to protect his safety.

This isn't the pursuit of justice - it's a witchhunt.

1st hearing -> Guilty ->
1st appeal -> guilty ->
2nd appeal -> guilty ->
3rd appeal -> guilty ->
4th appeal -> guilty ->
5th appeal -> guilty ->
6th appeal -> guilty ->.........
He can't just keep challenging it until he gets the result he wants. That's no way to run a legal system. At some point he has to go. I thought that would be after the EU courts turned him down. God only knows how he found someone else to appeal to after them.

*I typed guilty, of course I meant "to be extradited".

However he can keep on appealing while there is a court willing to hear the appeal. Once he runs out of courts to appeal to he'll have to go.

That's how it works.

If he is on remand maybe they should apply for release on the grounds of time served. :)

Just send the begger over there. Why he thinks he should be immune from trial just because he's has an illness is beyond me.

No just no

We don't let our citizens be extradited to face a comparibly large sentance to the one he would recieve here and face extradition even though he has aspergers sydrome.
I would simply have to disagree.
