‘Pentagon hacker’ prepares for verdict

Gary McKinnon, the British hacker who’s due to hear whether he will be extradited to the US on 10 May, rates his chances of avoiding trial in the States as only “50/50″.

McKinnon, 40, faces possible trial under US anti-terror laws over alleged attacks on military and NASA systems between 2001 and 2002.

The unemployed sys admin has had these charges over his head since first been arrested by officers from the UK’s National High Tech Crime Unit in March 2002. The case against him lay dormant until July 2005 since when he’s been unable to find work. Bail conditions mean he’s unable to access the internet except in the course of employment and even then under tight conditions. He is, however, allowed to have a mobile phone.
