I hope no one minds my posting a question here. I don't have autism but my father had Asperger's. I read this article in the UK press about a guy being extradited to the US for hacking

Lauri Love verdict: British hacker who breached US defence systems to be extradited despite Asperger?s | The Independent

What do you think about it? I know he committed a crime, and some of them are serious, but I don't understand why they want him to be tried in America and not England. He will probably go to prison and he would be better in a British prison than a US one, where at least his family could visit. It all seems very sad.

I'd be interested to hear people's opinions.
