Well, you have a criminal defense attorney answering you.
And, I cited actual court testimony directly on point.
So let me repeat.....when a suspect flees a jurisdiction prior to a scheduled interview, the authorities of that jurisdiction tend to not extend courtesies any longer. They don't have to.
The magistrate's finding of fact clearly indicates that not only did Mr. Assange know of the expected September 28th interview, but that his attorney had warned that a DNA sample collection, and a possible detention were in the works. It is therefore unsurprising that Mr. Assange chose to leave on the 27th, and refused to return.
When the word "PREVARICATE" is used to describe your testimony, (see previously cited) it means the court thinks you are telling untruths. When the court thinks you are telling untruths, they aren't inclined to take your demand for courtesies very seriously. Mr. Assange's lawyer did not serve his client's purpose well.
And that is why Sweden is no longer offering courtesy to Mr. Assange. Because when he was offered, he fled....
You just can't do a Jerry Lundergaard.....
