Re: Poor Gary Mckinnon
I understand your point.
No hacker has ever gotten any sentence more than 10 years in the States.
I am sorry that Gary's appeals to the courts of the UK and Europe have failed.
But the 70 year thing is an exaggeration,
More disinfo from Gary's team include, but not limited to.
Gary is being tried as an enemy combatant....NOT
Gary faces the death penalty.....NOT
Gary is going to Guantanamo.....NOT
I am sorry Gary did these acts without considering the consequences.
I am sure that many have committed acts thinking the punishment would be one thing, only to find out it is another.
Why is Gary not responsible for his own actions?
If you read the house of Lords decision, it is unlikely Gary get more than 8 to 10 years.
Yes Gary is entitled to his day in court.
But if found guilty, he faces the maximum time.
This is the same for all defendants.
Some are offered plea bargains, some are not.
Gary was offered a fair plea bargain, and he turned it down.
Are the Ptb responsible for this?
Is Gary not responsible for his own actions?
Did you read the House of Lords Decision?
My question is, why do so many want Gary to go to trial, against his best interest?
If 6 month plea bargain was offered again, 6mos usa minimum security jail, and 18 mos uk jail, would we be encouraging him to take the deal, or go to trial?
