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."

Again, it's of his own making. Most people in his position would have been out on bail. But to repeat again, he's a proven flight risk. If he want's to keep appealing, then he stays inside until the extradition is either granted or refused. At which point, he gets kicked out of the country either on a flight to the US or somewhere of his (limited) choosing, most likely somewhere he has proven citizenship.
