Can we get him a better Lawyer?
Unless this is all a publicity gambit, and they are just churning the waters before Love goes to trial in the US, I fear for his chances with this defense.
"I'll kill myself if you extradite me" isn't a defense, it's an excuse to put someone in the same kind of "protective custody" they put Manning in. No court is going to allow "you can't arrest me or I'll kill myself" as a legal precedent. And Love isn't offering much to show his case is in some way unique. So if they let him whinge his way out of extradition with something as weak as the Twinkie defense, then it would apply broadly to any UK citizen facing the US court an legal system.
Frankly I'd gladly give the guy a free pass if that had any chance of cleaning up the US "Justice" system. Clearly that isn't happening in the next few years.
