David Cameron has moved to prevent Asperger's computer hacker Gary McKinnon from facing extradition to the US and instead serve his time in a British prison if he's convicted.
The UK Prime Minister proposed this during talks with Barack Obama at the White House. He told BBC Radio 5 Live that the Government had discussed the issues with the President and proposed "some of the (sentence), if there is a prison sentence, being served in a British prison."
"That is one potential outcome and I'll be working very hard to make sure that these things are discussed between the two governments. If we can reach a settlement then all to the good. I don't want to make a prediction because there are many difficult issues that have to be worked through," he told the radio station.
Gary McKinnon faces up to 60 years in jail and extradition to the US after he was accused of hacking into the White House computers over 2001-2002. However, he maintains he only did this to search for evidence of UFOs.
And there's been loads of twists and turns since then. Despite campaigners and McKinnon's lawyers pushing for a lesser sentence and a UK prison stint under the Human Rights Act, last year Alan Johnson, the former home secretary and Theresa May's predecessor, ruled that McKinnon could face extradition and trial in the US.
In May this year the case had to be adjourned before it even started as there were concerns that McKinnon was unfit to stand trial in the US.
Speaking at a White House press conference alongside President Obama, Mr Cameron said: "Clearly there is a discussion going on between the British and the Americans about this but I don't want to prejudice those discussions.
"We completely understand that Gary McKinnon stands accused of a very important and significant crime in terms of hacking into vital databases and nobody denies that is an important crime that has to be considered.
"I have had conversations with the US ambassador as well as raising it today with the president about this issue, and I hope a way through can be found."
Obama said a solution should be found within the law, but in the context of the "co-operative relationship" between the US and the UK.
"I trust that this will get resolved in a way that underscores the seriousness of the issue, but also underscores the fact that we work together. We can find an appropriate solution," Obama said.

Justice is said to be blind, meaning that justice has no bias, but that is not true. Justice has to have absolute bias, not relative bias, and the same goes for one’s justice, Morality, which is Innate[ly absolute] within all. As such, when there is no Morality other than some morality vested within Fame, Fortune & Immortality, it is just another blood-sucking circus act. The Chosen Few tool couldn’t be bothered if he is saving a tree-stump simply because they/his-worshippers are all tree-stumps to the joker. How could anyone save another when he lacks the means to even save himself – especially when he does not even know, let alone realise, who or what his [true] self is? Those who merely accept or reject this fact ought to realise that reality is not about others, it is about one’s experience, others’ experience being merely knowledge. That is what Nature is alluding to when She enacts the Play of evolution, the subset of Evolution, which is that there is no way a chimp is able to realised arithmetic without being human first and neither could one’s reality be preached/communicated to another.
A human being is the only principle who is able to truly/absolutely evolve within his every lifetime and the means for that realisation is innate within all, the human body being the instrument for detecting, measuring, verifying, and enacting Divinity. When that moment arrives, one’s Central Nervous System will have its two-way comms switched-on, as opposed to being a one-way comms thus far. Should Reality exists, He-She is not going to gamble His-Her existence through the stupid-cum-dumb, oka masculinity-cum-femininity, protein-cum-carbs, ad infinitum, within the relative human. Well, would you? As the Joker’s tag-along machinates, The Coming of Cameron is being replaced with The Institution of Cameron and that is only possible because the so-called Democracy of the stupid-cum-dumb, oka Abandonment, is based solely on having the morality to copulate, rationalise, and corrupt, oka insincerity. Sincerity being a Morality, it does not matter if almost all lack sincerity because Reality is the individual’s experience, not others, others being merely knowledge.
