I guess for me, I have a hard time judging it as an unfair trial when there hasn't even been a trial. If the trial happens and it's unfair, then I think we discuss that.
Right now it seems as if we're discussing how it is unfair for them to indict him and seek extradition to conduct the trial.
At least for how I understand the US justice system as an American, if I'm indicted, even if I think it's a sham indictment, I don't think I can fight it at the indictment phase. I fight it at trial. Now, if I think the trial won't even be fair, then I'd probably flee, but now I'm a fugitive in the eyes of the law and it doesn't seem to give the trial a chance to be fair.
So I'm confused, what should we demand better of? That the government shows more evidence to the indictment in order to gain the right for a trial? How much evidence needs to be shown before trial vs during the trial?
