So this is the case of Gary McKinnon a 43 year old man who suffers from Asperger's Syndrome and is a self confessed "bumbling computer nerd", who managed to hack into the US governments computer systems and view top secret documents, was he doing it for money or for reasons of terrorism? No he was looking for information about UFO's and now the US government want him extradited over there where he could face up to 60 years in prison, as opposed to a trial in the UK where the punishment would be much less severe.
So what are your opinions, should he be forced to stand trial in America, does the US government have the right to do this, is it right to punish this socially underdeveloped man in the same way as you would a fully developed one?
