Bear in mind that with Lauri Love, while the case was lost in 2016 and a judge ruled that he could be extradited, it then went to the high court and was overturned two years later.

Sadly, this isn't over. The appeals court simply overturned a lower court decision and remanded the case back to the lower court.

They still have a chance to appeal the judgment.

If someone did and it took 10 years to resolve, that'd be an issue

(Note: A lot of states have deadlines on appeal resolution, etc, for criminal cases)

It's a bit unfair to say he was out on a technicality. The appeals judge ruled that the venue was improper, and venue can be extremely important. Not to mention the judge also saw several issues with the original charges.

He was able to appeal.

He won a previous case and it looks like this case is not over yet.

It is guaranteed to get appealed. This case will drag on for a few more years before we see a resolution.

Appealed in appeals court. It's not over yet.

That got appealed, any idea on how it ended ?

They did loose, then they appealed and settled.

They had a second chance in court, and blew that one too.

tempsy | karma 12572 | avg karma 5.71 · | 2023-01-31 11:27:47

It will be appealed

fzzzy | karma 1315 | avg karma 1.53 · | 2022-06-09 20:50:43

He appealed the ruling and the appeal was only heard a couple of weeks ago.

It was eventually overturned on appeal, but not after a year or two in prison and great financial ruin.

Here's what the court ultimately ruled on appeal

In otherwords, the evidence wasn't strong enough to overturn the conviction and was available through other means.

Maybe he does lose, but how long will that take? With the appeals? They’ll probably just settle out of court.

Buge | karma 3961 | avg karma 2.44 · | 2019-01-29 07:10:15+00:00

Yes, but the overturn wasn't based on urls, or scraping, or disclosure, or security, or damages, it was based on him being charged in the wrong state. The court system still thinks everything else about the case was fine.
