Irish sex offender told to 'go live in a tent', extradition appeal hears
Stage: Appeal
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: In response, Patrick McGrath SC, for the Attorney General, said Mr Justice Burns had been entitled to reach his decision and that Wall was being returned to the US "to serve a sentence of imprisonment". "This is not a case where the appellant would be required to live in tent," he said. "The likely outcome in this case is that he would receive a period of detention." Judgment has been reserved.; Wall, who was remanded in custody last November, later launched an appeal against Mr Justice Burns' decision, claiming the judge failed "to carry out any further analysis as to whether the appellant would be subject to inhumane and degrading treatment" on his return to the US.
