What does the British government have to do with this guys sentencing....?  The British government has no power to over-rule an English court decision by a Judge.     And it isnt a crime if the man has no concept of a crime... you have much more faith in the US treatment of overseas defendents than I do.

The whole point is they feel someone with Aspergers would be treated differently and unfairly in the US.

If people with aspergers are being arrested and thrown in jail for the max penalty with no mitigating factors, for lesser crimes...

That destroys all credibility in the arguement.

Furhtemore, the government should be outraged at what happened and be speaking on this internet trolls behalf right? 

I've yet to hear any public outrage.

Because justice has been served. Sorry for trolling a bit but it's true. Someone had to take the shit for it at some point, these things have been much too common (suicides due to harassment). If one guy had to serve the punishment so as to give a clear message to the others not to do it, then well it's a bit unfair but so be it. And I'm looking at it from a philosophical point of view at this point, not legal. I may be totally wrong here, but that's how I feel about it.

Hey i'm not the one that could go to jail over it.

Also uh... nobody committed suicide due to harrasment.

Or at least not due to his harrassment.  He didn't even know any of the girls until after they had died.

He was basically arrested for taunting the parents of children who have died.
