He was indicted by the U.S. government on November 12, 2002, on eight counts of computer fraud. His case rests in the hands of Theresa May, the newly appointed British home secretary, who is considering the medical evidence. This evidence represents the only grounds on which McKinnon's extradition can be overturned. If she finds in his favor, McKinnon, who has Asperger's syndrome, would be tried in Britain, where his parents would be close by to support him and he would receive a sentence proportionate to his crime. He would most likely be sentenced to an open prison, where he could see his psychiatrist on a regular basis. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
