UK court says Assange can't be extradited on espionage charges until US rules out death penalty. Two High Court judges say they would grant Assange a new appeal.
Assange faces 17 counts undee the Espionage Act and one charge of computer misuse. If convicted, lawyers say he could receive a prison term of up to 175 years, although U.S. authorities have said any sentence is lower.. Assange's supporters say he is a journalist protected by the First Amendment who exposed US military wrongdoing.
