All criminals should expect to be held accountable 

In McKinnon's lawyers hope UK prosecution will derail extradition

Gary is no different than any other lowlife criminal. He does not deserve any special treatment. His crimes were in the U.S.A. and that's where he should be tried like any other criminal. No magic here. If the U.S. prosecutes him and he is sentenced to prison, so be it. He shouldn't get a free pass or special treatment just because he lives in the U.K. He knew exactly what he was doing when he hacked and I'm sure he knew the potential punishment. Now it's time to face the music in the U.S.A.
