Should Laurie Love stand trial in the US?
A man accused of launching cyber attacks on targets including the FBI, US Army, Nasa and Department of Defence has won his battle against being extradited to the US.
The High Court ruled that Lauri Love should be tried in Britain after Lord Chief Justice Lord Burnett and Mr Justice Ouseley heard he suffered severe mental illness and could kill himself......
The case was a test for a legal measure called the forum bar, which was introduced to stop vulnerable British defendants being extradited “in the interests of justice” when their cases could be heard at home instead.
