I understood that the pirate injured his hand in a scuffle onboard the Bainbridge. That would indicate that he wasn't there to negotiate, but to become "un-apprehended". A question I am curious to have answered is: If they bring him to trial and he is convicted and serves time, once released, will he be released in America and be free to stay here under present laws or will they have to take him back to Africa, since that is where he was picked up. Or maybe dropped back into a lifeboat in the middle of the ocean?
