Whether Gary is guilty or not, he does NOT deserve the potential 70 YEARS in prison he is being threatened with in the USA.
His "crime" was committed from a house in North London and therefore he should be tried HERE int he UK.
We are not letting this rest, we have been writing to everyone, MP's, the Mayor of London, The Home Secretary, Obama, McCain and even celebrities in the hope someone will stand up and speak for this young man with Ashbergers Syndrome.
Don't give up everyone, the battle is not yet lost!

To be tried in the UK, would not the UK have to actually charge him?
To date the UK has not charged Gary.
His offense was not committed against the UK.
Based on Us sentencing guidelines, I doubt he gets more than 2 or 3 years....max 5.
How come many of you are against Gary cutting a plea bargain arrangement?
He was offered 6 mos in the US prison and the remain 18 in the UK.
He turned it down?
Why?
