Gary McKinnon extradition decision delayed until October --Computer hacker must wait because of home secretary's 'all-consuming involvement in Olympic security' 24 Jul 2012 The home secretary, Theresa May, has delayed until October any announcement on whether to extradite the computer hacker Gary McKinnon to the US. Home Office lawyers told the high court in London on Tuesday that the delay was needed because of May's "all-consuming involvement in the Olympic security" and her preference to announce the final decision when parliament was sitting. Two high court judges said a hearing for a full judicial review of that decision would be "pencilled in" for late November.
