Can I ask why it’s good? He broke the law, and we only have his word about why, He and I quote "perpetuated biggest military computer hack of all time".
I agree the argument about the being prosecuted here holds water but the crime was perpetuated in the US.
The media's defence of this man has been reprehensible solely based on his Asperger’s.
Extradition has been denied only because of his human rights I wonder if Teresa May can spell hypocrite?

Howard - "I know nothing about that syndrome.
My point is that, without a conviction, no agency can compel him to modify his behaviour or even accept that anything he did was wrong."
Nothing like proving your own point is there?
As an Asperger's sufferer, this young man will not understand the concepts of right and wrong, or conviction and punishment, so to convict him would be an utter waste of tax payers' money.
Do a little research about the condition and see why your argument is simply not a valid course of action - or better still - read The Curious Case Of The Dog In The Night and get some insight into the condition itself.

So Andy. If anyone has Asperger's you are saying that convicting them is a waste of taxpayers money ?
To do what he did he cannot be stupid. He needs to be convicted if only to get the help he needs, as is being said here.
He should be tried here and if convicted given an appropriate sentence, even if it is correctional. This man is potentially dangerous. You are all having a good laugh because he hacked the septics. What if a Septic hacked our systems and people died because of it, would you all be so self congratulating then? or even if he goes and does it now he knows he will get away with it?

" I have concluded that Mr McKinnon's extradition would give rise to such a high risk of him ending his life that a decision to extradite would be incompatible with Mr McKinnon's human rights."
So he can't go to the US because he might commit suicide. That is a very strange argument, and I look forward to lots of defendants making it in British courts as a reason not to go to prison.
Good news, though: it only seems to works for white folk

It seems that he has done the Pentagon a great favour. If their computer security was so lax that an individual could crack it, think what a dedicated team of Chinese hackers, with all the equipment and money they needed, might have done.
I question the logic behind that thought.
If you were burgled, would you think the burglar had done you a favour by showing up the failings in your home security system?

I find myself sitting on the fence with this case. I have no strong feelings one way or the other...however, I wonder why it's taken so long to get to this point?
I was about to write, "It's been something like five years since he was indicted", but then decided to check facts on Wikipedia. It's actually taken ten years to get to this decision.
That's way too long.
