‘Julian Assange is free’: Wikileaks founder freed in deal with US
Assange to plead guilty to one charge of espionage and return home to Australia after decades fighting US extradition.
You're viewing a single thread.
Freed in exchange for a guilty plea in a plea deal
And time served. Guilty but free.
One of the most up voted comments on another thread about this was in effect "Assange has been cleared." No, he pleaded guilty and served five years in prison, it's just that he already served that time since he was never released pending trial.
He probably got a good sentence considering he never stepped foot in a US prison
No justice. 👎 Boo, hiss.
He never denied his guilt. Just disagreed with it.
Dude was locked up for longer than we would have had him in prison. Time served was the right choice and reinforces that we're not the country assange wants to paint us as.
