New Zealand Court Rules Kim Dotcom Can Be Extradited to U.S
New Zealand law has a principle known as natural justice. It&#x27;s a term that refers to the right to a trial that is fair when considered in totality, and the right to have a judge that is not biased. It was argued by Dotcom&#x27;s team and the legal team of his coaccused that the District court judge had hurried the trial so much that there was no opportunity to even present a case. He wasn&#x27;t allowed to present expert testimony on the commonplace practice of using deduplication in filesharing technology, or expert testimony on US law, etc. The question came up in the trial that if natural justice had been so badly denied, then it wasn&#x27;t clear how the problem could be rectified. Evidence came to light during the trial before this judge that largely discredited the Crown case, but wasn&#x27;t properly before the judge (wasn&#x27;t allowed to be considered), further compounding the problem the case presented. The Crown Prosecution Service of course argued that Dotcom and co would have the opportunity to present such evidence in the US after being extradited.
