Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
US prosecutors are alleged to have threatened to
treat him as a terrorist unless he pleaded guilty, at a US trial, and
took up to four years in prison as a result. McKinnon declined, and
decided to fight extradition instead.
That fight went to the UK High Court back in 2006, and McKinnon lost.
McKinnon took his appeal against that decision to the UK House of Lords last month, and lost there as well.
However, facing up to 70 years in a US prison if extradited and found
guilty, Solo has not given up. His legal team have now taken the final
fight to the European Court of Human Rights.
This time, McKinnon has won. Well sort of.
He has, at least, won a stay of execution as far as having his ass
hauled off to the US is concerned. The European Court of Human Rights
has granted him interim relief, a temporary stay in other words, until
August 28th when the appeal application can be heard before the full
chamber.
McKinnon continues to deny the accusations of terrorism and sabotage,
claiming his motives were
'harmless and innocent' while admitting he just wanted to 'find
evidence of UFOs he thought was being held by the US' in order to
expose a cover up.
If he loses this final appeal, McKinnon is likely to be immediately
extradited to the United States where that the prospect of that long
prison term, not to mention fines of up to USD $1.75 million, might
help focus his attention beyond the alien conspiracy theories and
return it to the real world...
