He shouldn't be going to trial in the first place. Journalists shouldn't be prosecuted for exposing government malfeasance. And as the alleged crime was not committed on US soil, the charge of espionage in nonsensical, as the US has no jurisdiction. The intention is to make an example of Assange, not to give him justice, hence the prolonged detention in Belmarsh.
