Russethouse Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 I thought he was going to use the defence that it was a 'crime of passion'I can't remember - does Britain extradite its own citizens ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkkent Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 I can't remember - does Britain extradite its own citizens ?Yes.There was a case a couple of years ago where a British woman was extradited to Oregan to face trial in connection with her association with the Maharishi's sect. The sect was accused of trying to bring down the American state - or somesuch. (The motivation for prosecution may have been connected with a fundamentalist christian opposition to the sect's lifestyle.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
