Todner also represents Gary McKinnon, who was indicted by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia in 2002 for hacking into 97 military and NASA computers between February 2001 and March 2002.

McKinnon, who has publicly admitted to the hacking, also suffers from Asperger's. His extradition was approved by the British government in 2006, but the U.K. Home Office has held up his extradition pending a review that started in 2010.
