People like Julian Assange & Eric Snowden will be even more determined to avoid being sent to America for a court trial now.
Their .lawyers may say “It’s obvious that the USA is either not capable of or truly interested in, protecting any prisoner, no matter how high the international profile of that prisoner. My client’s life would be snuffed out before his first prison dinner got cold. Then after prolonged hemming and hawing, no one would ever pay for the murder!!”
Whitey Bulger was murdered during a prison transfer and no doubt some corrupt prison officials were involved. Mob tainted thugs working for “the public”.
Great point Lee! The feral gubmint can’t protect allegedly suicidal prisoners from taking their own lives despite spending billions on facilities, training, salaries and big OT checks, to prevent this very thing. Hence, the gubmint especially can’t protect anyone from being murdered in their custody either.
