Actually, he will be in court pretty soon. However, the trial could take 1 to 3 years. And he will be held in a kind of segregation, reserved for high profile prisoners. But, it still isn't a big deal; and the bs he was responsible for in the Land of Uk doesn't mean a hill of beans in the Land of the Free and the Home of Fast Food. However, he will get a fair trial and the best defence Saudi Arabia can buy.
You never know, with all the avenues of appeal open to him, he might die before the verdict comes down ... quel dommage, as they say in la belle Province.
And the thing about US jails ... they may be a little harsher than those in the UK, but not by all that much. It's not so much that the jails are harsher ... Hollywood is not reality
... it's more of a case of the inmates being tougher and meaner. But, if he is convicted ... and there is always a chance that his lawyers will get him off ... he probably won't end up in general population. Remember, with good lawyers, you can get away with murder in the US ... O. J. Simpson, eh.
