He admitted to "hacking" (and I use that term loosely) but he did not admit to causing damage to the computers, which is what the US authorities are charging him with (lo-and-behold, precisely $5,000 worth of damage per computer - the minimum necessary to bring charges).
Gary is not the one who is making insinuations. The prosecutor said he wanted to see him "fry" - insinuating the death penalty (or perhaps an acccident?).
And I ask you yet again: how does one defend themselves when the prosecution is not required to provide evidence?

First you hire a competent attorney, then at the trial you put on a defense.
But if he was smart, he would plead.
That is what most caught hackers do.
Garys lawyers have exhausted his legal options in fighting the extradition charges.
How many appeals has he had? 3? 4? Is everyone out to get Gary?
Think about that.
You my friend, have been sold on the hype.
But if he is actually foolish enough to go to trial, then his lawyers will put on the best defense he can....which is what exactly?
The evil PtB defense?
The Danny B defense?
In fact Gary has no defense other than to ask for proof of the damage....since he already admitted the hacking.
The anti American statements did not help either.
Guess what, they have the a paper trail of repair receipts.
Then you may say that all of the evidence is faked.
But where is the evidence that supports Gary innocence?
Even if he really saw what he says he saw, and he had evidence, this would only be evidence of his guilt.
I still maintain that this info Gary claims to have seen, has never been on open servers.
