LONDON -- Britain’s top court on Monday refused WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange permission to appeal against a decision to extradite him to the U.S. to face spying charges.

Monday's news narrows Assange's options, but his defense team may still seek to take his case to the European Court of Human Rights. Nick Vamos, the former head of extradition at the Crown Prosecution Service, said Assange’s lawyers can also seek to challenge other points that he had lost in the original district court decision.

If convicted, Assange's lawyers say he could face up to 175 years in jail in the U.S., though American authorities have said the sentence was likely to be much lower than that.

5. It shouldn't be much lower than that.

If anything, it should be higher. He deserves far, far worse.

6. Good. Lock him up and throw away the key.

7. Maybe only a century, with good behavior.

Though good behavior seems to be difficult for Julian Asshole.
