From The Register,

The High Court has granted a further judicial review of the Home Secretary’s decision to allow extradition proceeding against Pentagon hacker Gary McKinnon to proceed. The move means the imminent threat of extradition against McKinnon is removed until at least April.

The latest in a long line of appeals by McKinnon will consider whether McKinnon’s mental state is too frail to withstand a US trial and likely imprisonment over hacking attacks dating from 2001 and 2002.

The unemployed former sys-admin, who was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome last year, was first arrested in 2002 and has been fighting extradition since 2005.

There might be a happy ending yet.
