If he's innocent, he has nothing to hide from the Swedish authorities.

Exactly. His claim the Swedes will turn him over to the US is rather a bit overblown; at this stage, the last thing the US would do is seize Assange with the whole world watching. If anything, the US would let Sweden have their go at Assange and, once that's over, with the passage of time and attention to his "plight", maybe then ask the Swedes to hand him over, if the US still wants him. Consider this: say Assange goes back and faces the charges, is tried and found guilty of the sexually based crimes; how do you think that will impact his base of support? I think Assange is afraid not only of the US getting their hands on him, he's afraid of what a sex-crime conviction will do to his support from sympathizers down the road...

A little information about the Swedish Justice system

A prosecutor can detain a suspect for 5 days either in isolation or ordinary arrest before the suspect must be brought before a judge

a Defense attorney will first get the paper, when the prosecutor has done his job, sometimes the suspects defense attorney get the paper after 2 to 3 day after the arrest(do not know the exact processing regarding this)

The suspect will be offered a defense before the first interrogation
(I don't know how many takes this offer and how many refuse or say it is not necessary etc)
