Another Omar Khadr?

As everyone knows he has been charged with being an accessory to Armed Robbery and Felony Murder.
His defence is attempting to make an issue that he was not notified of his Miranda Rights but this only applies to Custodial Interrogation, if police never questioned him, they did not have to warn him.

How do you know he and his lawyers are not engaged in that process at this very moment?
Instead of these silly false analogies and similarities you keep trying — and failing — to draw, why not state your point and make a persuasive case for it using logic and evidence?
Ahem....
He has only been arrested and is awaiting trial.
"Logic" would lead one to realize that he would not be repatriated to stand trial here! LOL
"My client's caused you nothing but trouble; you don't really want the hassle of keeping him in prison, and supervising him after release, never mind what it'll take to convict him. He'll plead guilty if you recommend him for transfer to a Canadian prison to serve his time".
Yes, but this is about as close to a "slam - dunk" conviction as one is going to get and also is a high profile "pour encourager les autres" prosecution so what motivation would the prosecution have to agree to such a deal?
There are a lot of variables in this case, will he be tried as a minor or an adult? Only after he is convicted will there be any consideration for his return to Canada to serve his time. The case might be too high profile and the Canadian government might not want to seem to give special circumstances to a diplomats son.
BTW- If a Hispanic kid from Miami was charged with a crime and spit on a cop and tore up an interview room he would get the crap beaten out of him.

It was SkyRider who wanted to know why the guy wasn't already back here, you should direct the question to him. All I was offering was a 'could be' scenario for Schlong's question to me, but thanks for that "yes" from a legal guy who has been there.
