I should have written “allowed” rather than put up.
I’m with you on your last point. Allowing the wealthy to be in luxury custody instead of behind bars like an ordinary convict is the height of elitism, and unfairness. He’s not a suspect this not an alleged crime-he is a convicted pedophile.

True, as far as the United States is concerned. Switzerland, however, has to work through their own legal process - which they seem to be doing - in order to approve extradition. The only apparition of US law that applies in Switzerland is whatever sort of extradition treaties we have in place with them. We can’t expect our sentences to be carried out by proxy.
