Since I don't understand this, I will ask it here and maybe someone can give me a clear answer.

What exactly does this mean for Julian Assange? I mean, in terms of this repetitive circle of going to court and then coming back empty handed.

How often can Assange's defense team appeal these decisions and at what point can we expect the "final" decision to be made? E.g. Julian is either released or he is extradited.

Will he be tried by a common jury or a military one? No way a common jury finds him guilty.

"No way a common jury finds him guilty."

Quick search for numbers show:

"53% of Americans say Julian Assange should be extradited to America"

I wish I could still have your faith in my fellow countrymen. Sadly I believe yours won't survive this trial.

"But judges ruled the risk of suicide was removed by assurances from the US." Like Epstein? Let this be a point, there is no press freedom in the United States.

Epstein is either still alive and retired to some other island, OR, Maxwell is actually the Puppet Master and he was a fall guy. - I think the 2nd is the most likely option, given her family history, and that she hasn't been epstiened. And she is likely to get off, under the excuse of being controlled and in an abusive relationship.
