Re: bit of an ass
'how Assange got to where he is' is immaterial.
A medical doctor can do an enormous amount of 'good' yet still commit a crime. Should that doctor avoid due process based on how he got to where he is? I know the law definitely does and I think most reasonable people would say no.
Not that I am directly comparing St Jules to a medical doctor of course, there is no comparison between the two.
Dismiss the point if you wish, as you dismiss other opposing opinions. You could try joining his defence team and present your 'argument' where it could actually make a difference. sadly though I think, if you were lucky, you would be laughed out of court.
