Julian Assange might disagree.

That case was an odd one, for sure, but it was also so odd that one can't really use it as comparison. The only thing that's comparable was the pirate bay thing. I'm not going to say it was caused by innoffical, illegal, pressure from some influential country or person, but sometimes it feels like the only plausible explanation.

Not only did the prosecutor act strangely, but also, reading accounts of what Assanges lawyer or witnesses has said in court ( regarding the extradition request ) is ... cringy more often than not.
