"I have no opinion on the extradition law."
This is what I mean about ducking questions. You don't need to know about the Extradition Act 2003, specifically, or have an opinion on that law, specifically.
The point of the question is about the act circumventing the centuries old principle of prima facie evidence being presented by the prosecution.

What is your opinion on the situation that people can now be extradited on the CLAIM of a crime without the prosecution being burdened with the need to produce EVIDENCE of the crime?

You say he'll get a chance to defend himself in the US. He shouldn't even be faced with the possibility of being extradited in the first place and be put into the situation where he has the 'opportunity' to defend himself in a US court.
