The UK high court has finally ruled on the extradition of Lauri Love, the Finnish-British student accused of cracking U.S. government websites. He will not be extradited to face trial in America. The court accepted both of the main arguments that there is no reason he cannot not be tried in England and that he might suffer serious damage to his health if he were extradited.

Why do cyber hackers always, always talk in such a complicated way? Like "no reason he cannot not be tried in England," it's very hard to understand.

I think this may be the first time I think the realDonaldTrump has actually said an insightful comment. It should be "there is no reason he cannot be tried in England..."
Bother, I have to support realDonaldTrump. I don't think it's possible to say enough Hail Marys to absolve myself of this sin.
For what it's worth, it's also missing a comma: "The court accepted both of the main arguments that there is no reason he cannot be tried in England, and that he might suffer serious damage to his health if he were extradited."

Many lawyers are habituated not to use commas. It seems weird, but it is true. Commas are regarded as potentially introducing dangerous ambiguity, so contracts and wills (and other legal documents) have traditionally been written in many jurisdictions without the use of commas. There isn't a hard-and-fast rule

The phrase "cannot not be tried.." appears to be a typo by the original submitter.
It makes no sense, runs contrary to the headline claim and a google search finds that phrase only on Soylent news.
