Prove his own innocence?
Wow. You'd think if he was innocent he would has stayed in Sweden and faced his accusers. Instead he did a runner with the help of his lawyer who probably figured it would blow over and he'd be forgotten. Only he didn't count on how much of a prat Julian really was.
The only people who see Julian as a martyr are the same boys and girls who live in their parent's basement and believe all of the boogeyman conspiracy theories out on the internet.
This was never about Wikileaks. The US want him because there's allegedly evidence that he helped Manning with the theft. This was produced at Manning's Article 32 hearing, however during the trial, Manning plead guilty to those counts so that the evidence never came to see the light of day at trial.
This has nothing to do with the distribution of the material. The Ellsberg SCOTUS decision already set a high bar for that and the US DoJ isn't going to risk raising it further.
