ASSANGE EXTRADITION APPEAL HEARING DAY 1
--—
This is the fifth part of the Day one thread in which the prosecution will make their argument.
-—
Julian looks exhausted and is having trouble staying awake it seems.
-–
Prosecution is arguing that by not disclosing Stella's relationship to Julian, they actively misled the court (one might assume the US governments non-admittance of attempting to murder all of them might also be considered misleading and directly related to this event. Defense will have to decide that. )
—-
Prosecution fails to note that the original judge took into consideration the situation around Stella and Julian, and understood the implications of Kopelmans actions and knew about their relationship before weighing any medical evidence. So even with the omission, it would not have impacted her decision.
—
Julian has moved out of camera view (again, he looks very ill, not sure what is going on there)
—
Prosecution attempts to wave away expert testimony from Dr Crosby, as a "friend of Assange". And says they wont bother the court with it.
*Dr. Crosby found Assange suffered from major depression with psychotic characterstics due to his long term imprisonment, and found him to be at extreme risk of self harm and suicide.
—-
Prosecution continues to tought their own doctor, Dr. Blackwood who has received millions from US and UK militaries and special interests, as an unbiased opinion who just so happens to agree with them completely that Assange's condition is just fine for extraditing. That all the other multiple experts can be ignored based on that fact.
—-
Prosecution claims Julian did not report any psychotic symptoms to any of their medical experts or Belmarsh prison psychiatrist.
Prosecution then proceeds to echo the doctors they funded whose testimony says Julian's depression was not that bad etc.
-
Prosecution is treading a lot of ground already covered here. Really their entire argument has nothing to do with legal technicalities, but seems to be an attempt to convince different judges of an already failed and disproven argument.
—
Prosecution just argued that Julian liking the library, and oranges, meant he wasnt suicidal.
They legitimately argued this, in a court of law.
—
Nothing new out of the prosecution on this appeal.
They are attacking Kopelman's testimony; which was their original failed move. Only it looks much worse this time around kn light of the public exposure of the CIAs plot to kidnap/kill Julian and staff/family.
—-
Prosecution is now complaining about Nils Milzer, the UN special Rapporteur on torture, who interviewed Assange and found significant signs of psychological torture. Claiming because Dr. Kopelmam agreed, that somehow this means they had a "bias"?
(The US Government's argument is… not so good here)
-
Prosecution seems to dislike the fact that testimony from US Attorney for the EDVA Gordon Kromberg was not taken seriously by Nilz and Kopelman (Kromberg basically wrote fiction, so this is understandable).
-
Prosecution is now attacking the fact that only one doctor diagnosed Assange with autism (though two others diagnosed him with "autistic traits") so…. the US government is again, just treading old ground here.
Their goal here to undercut the idea that his autism causes ruminations; and with his depression, dwells around suicide, and single mindedly might drive him to commit suicide if extradited.
—-
Chief Justice agrees with prosecution on technicality that district court judge may have committed an error in negotiating kopelman statement opinion.
—-
The final moments of the prosecution end with them wrongly concluding that evidence and testimony deserved to be weighted differently (by which they mean in their favor instead).
–
Defense will have 30 minutes now, and the whole day tomorrow
—-
Defense argues that prosecution completely misrepresented both evidence and district Judge's ruling.
–
Defense points out Dr Blackwood said 'suicidal ideation is not a medical issue.'
Character limit,

The CIA has been in the UK all day, right outside the courthouse where the Assange trial is taking place.
