Snowden said the majority of Americans are not fully aware of how wide-ranging the government's spying programs are.[/caption]Edward Snowden would go to the US if he was sure that he would face a fair trial there, the former NSA contractor�s lawyer Anatoly Kucherena says.
"Edward Snowden is ready to return to the US, but on the condition that he be given guarantees to receive a fair and impartial trial,"�Kucherena told journalists on Tuesday, as cited by TASS.
The lawyer has said he received a letter from the US attorney-general promising no capital punishment for Snowden should he return to America.
�So what we are being guaranteed is not the fair trial, but that Snowden will not be executed,��Kucherena said.��And it�s done by a prosecutor, who according to the law, is not in any way able to determine a court�s decision.�
Kucherena says he does not trust news of certain countries� readiness to accept Snowden.
�I suspect that as soon as he leaves Russia, he�s going to be taken to a US embassy,��he said.
