What all have in common is willful disregard for the lives of alleged victims and determination to dismiss evidence to excuse the person they think too important to be brought to justice.
Assange does not need to prove his innocence. He only needs to go to Sweden and stand before the court to see if the state can prove his guilt. If not, he is free.
