Re: skipping bail
"As if the US do not take the time already spent in prison awaiting extradition off any potential sentence then he WOULD be doing a extremely long sentence for what amounts to a usually low sentence crime of breaching bail conditions."
It's the Brits who have him for breaching bail conditions, that's nothing to do with the US. If the Americans are going to toss him in the joint, it'll be for something completely different.
