The home secretary took into account his medical condition when deciding whether he should be extradited.....he may still stand trial here in this country,as far as I understand, his case is with Keir Starmer, the Director of Public Prosecutions.
So he hasn't got off with anything....yet.
Maybe he has already been punished enough.....the last, what is it? Ten years...with different home secretaries huffing and chuffing about whether to send this chap over the pond......he is never going to retrieve the peace of mind of those ten years.
The US says jump, and we ask 'how high...and for how long'.
I think the right decision about extradition was reached....as I said, if the boot had been on the other foot, would the US have been loading one of their citizens onto a plane for summary justice here? Of course they would.(NOT)
