As I understand it, the plea bargain was an admission of guilt to have the other charges dropped. The trial was over, only the sentencing remained. Once he is returned, he'll be sentenced, not put on trial. Or perhaps he'll also be charged with flight to avoid prosecution.

I've avoided mentioning the name to try to avoid this being a discussion of a particular individual: I wanted to focus on the broader question of extradition policy in general.
That was my assumption, which is why I didn't name him either.

it would be morally as well as legally wrong for them to do any more than ensure I get a proper trial and defence.
And just as morally wrong to do any less.
