The United Kingdom's High Court ruled Monday that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange can appeal a decision allowing him to be extradited to the United States to stand trial on espionage charges over the publication of classified documents, AP reports.
Why it matters: The ruling gives Assange another chance to avoid extradition and a potential sentence of up to 175 years in prison.
Yes, but: The U.K. Supreme Court still must agree to hear the case.
