so, kenneth clarkes' silence on this case affirms some agreed procedure/financial arrangement in the offing? i suppose the court of appeal hearing
will just about seal the deal then.
regarding californian sentencing practices,now that's pretty sick sentencing imo. am i correct in thinking that is based around the three-strikes
ruling.
as for your last statement, it has me slightly confused. i'm in the uk so i have limited knowledge of the american legal system. dragging a fellow
englishman across the pond, financially ruining his family in the process is quite unnerving in my opinion. if the justice ministry (uk plc llc ltd
and sons) have a reciprocation with stateside private entities, it would sure be interesting to foi this setup just for the knowledge.
"The (computer) server was not based in the US at all," O'Dwyer's barrister, Ben Cooper, who has also been heavily involved in the McKinnon case,
told Tuesday's hearing at Westminster magistrates court. "Mr O'Dwyer did not have copyrighted material on his website; he simply provided a link.
The essential contention is that the correct forum for this trial is in fact here in Britain, where he was at all times."
