Julian Assanges' extradition hearing is over and Judge Howard Riddle is expected to give his verdict on Feb. 24.
Assange's lawyer, Geoffrey Robertson, had sought an adjournment saying Assange would not get a fair trial in Sweden after Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt said Assange had "become public enemy number one in Sweden". But Judge Howard Riddle rejected Robertson's request for an adjournment.

In an excerpt leaked to the document repository site Cryptome, of Daniel Domscheit-Berg's new book 'Inside WikiLeaks: My Time with Julian Assange at the World's Most Dangerous Website', he claims that when he and a few others left WikiLeaks in September of last year that he and an architect of WikiLeaks' submissions platform took control away from Assange of the system for submitting documents to WikiLeaks and took some of the leaked material WikiLeaks had received, to ensure the site’s sources are secure.
Other excerpts chastise Assange's character and his handling of various matters related to the release of 'Collateral Murder', the video showing U.S. soldiers in an Apache helicopter killing Iraqi civilians and two Reuters reporters.

Assange Extradition Hearing To Continue Friday : Video
By Jerry Smith Feb 9 2011

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange finished a second day in a London court in front of Judge Howard Riddle fighting extradition to Sweden. Assange has not been charged with anything but is wanted for questioning by Swedish police for accusations made against him by Sofia Wilen and Anna Ardin of rape and sexual molestation, which Assange denies.
It was thought that the hearing would end Tuesday and that a decision would be made by Friday, but Judge Riddle felt two days was not enough and said the extradition hearing would continue on Friday with lawyers making their closing arguments then.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange finished his first of two days in a London court fighting extradition to Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning but has not been charged by Swedish police for accusations made against him by Sofia Wilen and Anna Ardin of rape and sexual molestation, which Assange denies.
Assange and his lawyers feel he will not get a fair trial in Sweden, where rape cases are heard in private and that if extradited to Sweden he may then in turn be extradited to the U.S., where he could face the death penalty.
