Gary McKinnon Loses Extradition Appeal

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday April 3, 2007 @01:52AM from the still-working-the-angles dept.

G0rAk writes "The BBC is reporting that hacker Gary McKinnon has lost his High Court appeal against extradition to the United States. The fight is not yet over yet: 'We will certainly be applying for this court to certify a point of law of public importance and to grant leave.' said his lawyer, referring to alleged threats by US authorities. One New Jersey prosecutor apparently has stated that that 'he would fry,' a statement that would be among issues raised when they take they appeal to the House of Lords."

You've a different read to the impression I've seen. He's someone who admits he has no high opinion of himself, some might say he has an overactive imagination, and his kiddie skillz were enough to get him in trouble because US military thought using Windows was a good idea (this is his legal defence line, anyway).
As you could tell if you read the article.
