Have they reversed the decision for good now or will there be another appeal?

Thats it!  It was the final call.  There is still a decision about if he will stand trial in the UK.  He says he is fine about facing a trial here, of course the maximum prison sentence here for that offence is five years as opposed to sixty in the US.

He has been on a curfew for years, and they always take that away from any sentence - so it is doubtful he will be doing jail.  :zoinks:

Yes, Theresa May the Home Secretary made  the right decision.  She still has a face like a bag of spanners, though.  :orly:
