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.

    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.
