Gary has not had a trial yet on the US charges., the trial occurs , and evidence is presented.
The extradition trial has occurred, and Gary lost .

The Law Lords got this wrong as they took this to mean the indictments would if found guilty, run concurrently. This has been a well-publicised balls-up by the Lords.
The trial has NOT taken place, we have only heard the presentations as to why Gary should not be extradited.
In my opinion, there has been a major cover-up here, no real press attention and no-one daring to stand-up up to the Americans and saying NO you can't have him ,he will be tried here!
It makes me wonder if amongst the stuff Gary allegedly downloaded, there may be some evidence so damaging, that the US do not want it presented as evidence in a UK courtroom for all to see????
