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.

Note what I said though. Love IS being held responsible. He will be tried in the U.K. and is found guilty will serve his time in the U.K. He isn't getting away with anything. Being tried in a foreign country with an unfamiliar legal system and subsequently serving time outside of one's own society and quite likely beyond the reach of family visitation is intrinsically more harsh than the same process would be for a person in their own country.
