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 how many of those things actually applied in this case? What's more a lot of that stuff applies even more so in the UK. In the UK they have things like super injunctions where not only can the parties involved not say anything about it, but nobody else can either and nobody really knows what those things are that they can't talk about unless it's brought to the attention of the courts.

    The US has issues, but it's dishonest to suggest that those things you list are typical. None of them would apply in this case as he's not a terrorist.
