@Len Re: After 50 weeks

Ok, this had been going on for a long time so if my aging memory still works...

I thought he would face the EAW if the Swedes still want him.

There's only one count that they could charge him on... and then its a question of if its worth it. Since many moons have passed, memories have faded and people have moved on with their lives. Do they want to dredge up all of this? I don't know and I'm not going to second guess that.

But my point is that if Sweden wants him, they take him. At the end... they return him back to the UK and then the US could nab him.

And the US could grab him in the UK, Sweden or Australia. When all said and done, he's still an Aussie citizen traveling on an Aussie passport, so he will eventually end up there.

(Remember... he wanted to return to Australia to visit his ol mum... (Read some of the articles in the CBS [Aussie news])

And since the Death Penalty is off the table and we know its going to be just straight prison time... there's not really much he can fight.

That said... how he behaves in prison is going to determine how well he survives.
