Lauri Love case: US abandons extradition case
Efforts to extradite alleged computer hacker Lauri Love have been abandoned by US authorities.
[...] Mr Love said he may help UK investigators to bring charges to get the case "over and done with".
American authorities confirmed they will not fight a High Court decision to block Mr Love's extradition to the US, on the grounds it would be "oppressive". A Crown Prosecution Service spokesman confirmed Mr Love will not be extradited.
Also at Bloomberg and The Hill.

And severe eczema. Nobody knows how to treat that in the US.
He'd rather be prosecuted in his own country where they have:
Secret Laws
Secret Interpretations of Laws
Secret Courts
Secret Warrants
Secret Court Orders
Secret Arrests
Secret Trials
Secret Evidence (not made available to the defense, and "parallel construction"1)
Secret Convictions
Secret Prisons
Secret "enhanced interrogation" programs
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

At least in his own country he's a citizen instead of a dirty furriner :/

Yeah, because he might actually spend jail time in the UK,
but in the US he would in all likelihood be set free, as long as he's not from Mexico. [bop.gov]

Somehow that's not *his* estimation of the probabilities.

At least in the U.K. they pay more than lip service to the obligation to provide adequate physical and mental healthcare to prisoners. I'm not sure if the UK is better or worse than the U.S. as far as a right to council goes.

Depending on whether you convert? Safe assumption.
