In reply to the discussion: The Swedish Prosecutor Lied As Charged. Admits No Legal Impediment to London Interview w/Assange. [View all]randome
(34,845 posts)Any ideas?
And now that Assange has insulted as many countries as he could, of course Sweden wants to conclude the case without having a wanted suspect being able to wait out the clock. It sets a terrible precedent.
Bringing up what that attorney said is irrelevant because no one on DU is going to agree with that. But I imagine it's a little like domestic violence laws in some states: even if a spouse recants, the case goes forward. For the attorney to have stated it that way is bizarre but it doesn't detract from the FACTS (remember that word) that Assange is doing anything he can to avoid being interviewed by Sweden before being arrested.
And even if he gets out of the embassy, he'll go on trial in the UK for jumping bail so it doesn't matter how the Swedish case is resolved, Assange is in trouble for some time to come.
And it's all of his own making.
