Re: Is this the best that the USA can come up with ?
"12 months in British prison for skipping bail"
Skipping bail (first offence) and the nature of the charges means that he _CAN'T_ get 12 months (that's the maximum. The usual punishment for habitual offenders is a slap on the wrist and a telling off by the judge.
As long as the Swedes have first dibs on him the USA can't extradite him.
If they don't resume proceedings then the americans can have a go.
it'd be ironic if he got 48 hours in the clink for the bail skipping after 7 years in a broom closet, only to get hauled back in for the USA charges - and as a proven flight risk he won't be bailed again.
