He was convicted of jumping bail. But not of any actual crime. As regards the US, be specific: he's being punished for tarnishing its image by revealing extrajudicial murder on a massive scale.
- midasuni 3y agoJumping bail is a crime, a crime he rightly paid for, and I wouldn’t expect someone who jumped bail to be granted bail. I’m no fan of the one sided extradition treaty the U.K. and US has, however the US has raised plenty of charges including conspiracy to hack, actually hacking, and the espionage one.
- atlantic 3y agoJumping bail was perfectly justified under the circumstances, since he was at risk of extradition (or extraordinary rendition) to the US, where his chances of a fair trial are nil. As for the alleged offenses, they were not committed on US soil, so they are outside the jurisdiction of American courts.
