British Hacker who sought to uncover Extraterrestrial contact evidence avoids extradition to U.S.

Special to The Canadian

Haringeyindependent.co.uk reports that an Application for a Judicial Review against the Home Secretary’s decision to extradite hacker Gary McKinnon has been submitted by his lawyers today.

In the first week of December 2009, Home Secretary Alan Johnson said medical evidence relating to Mr McKinnon’s Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism, was not strong enough to halt the move on human rights grounds and his departure to the US was scheduled for Friday, 11 December 2009.

British citizen Gary McKinnon avoids extradition to the U.S. as lawyers submit High Court appeal.

Mr McKinnon, 43, of Palmers Green, is facing 60 years in prison if convicted of breaking into top U.S. military computers.

The former Haringey schoolboy, who lived in Crouch End when he committed the offences, has admitted breaching the systems but said he was simply seeking UFO evidence.

The application submitted by Mr McKinnon’s legal team includes all previous medical reports with an up to date psychiatric report on Gary’s mental well-being.

It also contains two reports, one English and one American, commenting on the assurances which have been provided on behalf of the U.S. Government to accommodate Gary’s illness.

His lawyer Karen Todner said: “We hope that on receipt of these documents the Home Secretary may reflect and reconsider his position”.
