...I don't recognise the UK (or "England") you are remembering, Bert. Perhaps your memories are a bit hazy...

I remember being stopped by the police in England several times. They did not HAVE to have a reason, although on a couple of occasions they did volunteer one, and on one occasion they actually gave me a ride.
Nothing hazy about it.

...I am much happier that these questions will be dealt with in the UK...

Is the matter being DEALT WITH in the UK? That is an issue that seems to have been overlooked. If the UK courts were to ensure that full restitution were made, then I don't think that the US would have too much to complain about.

I don't think that Aspergers is really the issue. The thing is that he committed a crime. The crime was against computers that are in The United States. Why shouldn't he be tried in The US? That seems fair. 'IF' he has a mental condition the diminishes his responsibility then the courts here are just as likely to take that into consideration and be fair with him.

If someone were to launch a missile from a foreign country, and that missile were to land in The US; then surely that crime should be tried in the US, whether the person launching the missile had Aspergers or not.

I must admit to having a prejudice against criminals and so does US law.

It seems from the number of people who support this criminal that a similar prejudice might not exist within the UK.
