  Amazing breakdown. Murray manages to walk the line perfectly of confronting the total, farcical injustice of it all without working me up into an emotional state. And the summaries of the legal arguments would be hard not to follow. Great balance of narrative and important facts. Excellent writing.

  WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was charged with 18 Counts of disseminating classified information on July 12, 2007. If Assange had surrendered to US authorities circa 2007 (He wasn't indicted till 2019), he would have been sentenced to no more than 15 years if he was found guilty on all counts and had no parole.
