Re: Poor Gary Mckinnon
I feel bad for Gary's mom.
I feel bad for Gary.
He was offered 36 months...18 in the US, 18 in the UK.
This would all be over now, if Gary would have agreed....and his mom would be happy, and Gary could be getting his life back together.
The best argument I have heard from Gary's side is the extradition treaty issue.
However he has lost these appeals.
I would support a trial, in the States with the time to be served in Britain.
I still think it is foolish to go to trial....but I also concede that this is his right.
Sentencing guidelines are usually longer IF found guilty though.
Plea arrangements can be worked out as to where the time is served, and what type of facility....some are better than others.
Gary has suffered for this, I have no doubt.
I am concerned that his lawyers have either pushed Gary in the direction it has gone, or Gary instructed them to go this way.
Are these "ufo community" connected lawyers?
Might they be pushing an agenda not in Gary's best interest?
I don't know, just asking the question.
I did read that Bill and Kerry had urged Gary to accept the help of Dan Burisch and Marcia McDowell.
Dan has agreed to testify on Gary's behalf about what he saw.
How Dan or Marci would know what Gary saw is beyond me, or how what Gary saw is relevant to case , because it is not....legally speaking.
Thankfully, Gary's lawyers have decline this support I have read.
Another concern of mine is that many of Gary's supporters, don't really have his best interest at heart....even some posting in this thread.
They urge Gary to fight, somehow hoping that Gary's case somehow leads to disclosure.
This won't happen.
The best thing that can happen for Gary is to plead out.
Not many here will concede this fact.
Do the readers agree with me, or disagree with the statement in yellow
Stand up and be counted...if you dare.
