296. What the lawyer and the prosecutor did is not relevant to what Assange did.

Mon Sep 3, 2012, 12:10 PM

Sep 2012

The prosecutor told Assange's lawyer on Sept 15 that he was free to leave. The prosecutor should NOT have done that. The prosecuter's DUTY was to have interviewed him immediately after the dismissed case was reopened. But the prosecutor refused to do so and waited for three weeks, before contacting the defense, and AFTER telling Assange he was free to leave.

The crossing of wires regarding the communication between her and the defense is NO EXCUSE for her dereliction of duty to begin with, and her refusal even after her failed attempts to reach the defense, once she did, to accept Assange's offer to return to Sweden on Oct 9.

Furthermore, she then procrastinated for two years, and is still doing so, making excuses, all of which have been debunked, as to why she has not interviewed him and then filing her case.

She has been widely criticized for her behavior in this case, in fact some legal experts believe she might be guilty of misconduct.

Assange violated no laws regarding speaking to the police, which he did, or to the prosecutor. He has made himself available to do so for two years now, he was in no way responsible for her failure to do her duty. She has denied both the women and Assange their day in court.
