Shocking really. If he's guilty he should be sent to face his punishment simple as.
they wont try him in this country all the will do is look to see if there is enough evidance for him to stand trail if there is enough evidance then he will goto the USA to stand trail where he might be found innocent |

Or will he be tried outside the US? |

anyone know what state grand junction is in ? and do they have the death penalty there?
as far as i am aware the UK wont extradite a person facing capital punishment
They do have it, but aren't as quick to implement as some other states. 'Lethal injection' is their party piece when they go about it at all. That sounds like a pretty heavy party piece, tbh. I only go as far as 'owl noises with hands clasped'. Americans  |

Just seems an odd rule. What is to be gained by not allowing someone to be extradited if there is a possibility of the death sentence?

Because in the UK we believe the Death Penalty to be an act of unjustified killing, ie murder, so would be partly complicit in an act of murder. |

Life imprisonment without the possibility of parole doesn't sound like the cheeriest gig either. I followed all the docs on tv about these prisons and am still pondering their merits. Jails full of 70-somethings wandering around a concrete tomb for something (terrible) they did when they were 18...

I found the fact that these American journos who headlined all the press reports with "PRO POKER PLAYER" etc etc quite funny when you read the bit that says
“Unfortunately,” attorney Ben Keith is quoted in the newspaper’s account, “he had either spent or lost the remains of that money (poker earnings) as he was recently on benefits, both housing benefits and income support, in order to fund his lifestyle.”
He had been living with his mother and 15-year-old son.
Not very balla is it !
