His trial was to take place in Sweden.I suppose it depends on your world view EM2.
If you think that the US Security State plays by the rules and is only interested in justice then yes Assange should have played by the rules.
If however you believe that the aforesaid US Security State lies, cheats and kills with impunity and is essentially evil incarnate, then perhaps you might think differently and do everything possible to keep yourself from their wicked clutches.
If he is found guilty, step one is to serve his prison sentence in Sweden then step two is to hot-foot it to somewhere with no extradition arrangement with the US.
If he is found innocent, simply skip step one.
He managed to get asylum from Ecuador easily enough.
