the trial of julian assange

the february hearings i followed via twitter from stockholm.
in july i flew to london  for the appeal of the extradition claim.
i did not expect to be admitted to courtroom, though i had written sweden versus assange with a plea to get LA WEEKLY's UrbanNomad flown in for a video segment for the west coast and los angeles market.

i was sleep deprived day one of the trial but managed to compile notes in the morning.
by afternoon i was too tired  and stood against the left wall of the balcony to strain to hear and stay awake.

i scanned a copy at gray's inn copyshop and promptly mailed it around to people involved with the case.
