Proceeding contribution from David Davis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 December 2011. It occurred during Backbench debate on UK Extradition Arrangements.
UK Extradition Arrangements
My hon. Friend has asked for an example. How does he see the circumstances of someone facing trial in Texas who is thousands of miles from their nearest and dearest, isolated from their community and has no financial support? Does not the plea-bargaining system in America become a predatory process that threatens them with long-term loss of liberty or the prospect of giving in and admitting guilt?
