I read today on MSN News that the lady in question was NOT entitled to DI according to Dominic Rabb FS, if so WTF was she allowed to leave the UK ? 

She hadn't been arrested and she had told the police she wasn't leaving the UK, she lied.

Don't know if they were in a position to take her passport. Then again would she need a passport to fly out of military aerodrome.

and the family have no closure of any description, how the woman can sleep at night is beyond me. I know it was an accident but it was due to her careless driving, there has to be consequences when somebody dies.

Trump official tried to force Harry Dunn’s parents to hug his alleged killer in sick publicity stunt

The parents of a British teen killed in a car crash involving the wife of a US spy say a Trump official tried to bully them into hugging her.

The grieving parents of a British teen who died in a car crash involving an American
diplomat’s wife say a top White House official tried to bully them into taking part in a
twisted publicity stunt.

Harry Dunn, 19, died on August 27 when his motorcycle collided with a Volvo driven by
Anne Sacoolas outside an air force base in southern England used by the US military.

Ms Sacoolas, the wife of US Government agent Jonathan Sacoolas — who has been
described as a “spy” — was allegedly driving on the wrong side of the road when she struck
Mr Dunn head-on.

Ms Sacoolas initially co-operated with police, assuring them she had no plans to leave
Britain. She was then spirited out of the country on a military jet after the US falsely
claimed she was covered by diplomatic immunity.

On Tuesday, Harry’s devastated parents Charlotte Charles and Tim Dunn flew to
Washington after receiving a call from the White House inviting them to meet with a “very
senior government official” whose identity was not revealed.

“The mood was quite buoyant. We were looking forward to it,” family spokesman and
retired lawyer Radd Seiger, who is travelling with the couple, told the Associated Press.

Instead, they were blindsided by US national security adviser Robert O’Brien, who had
secretly brought Ms Sacoolas to the White House in a bizarre plan to unite the two parties
in front of the White House press corps.

The couple’s lawyer Mark Stephens said his clients had no idea their son’s alleged killer
would be in the building when they arrived and were stunned by the proposition.

Mr Stephens said the adviser tried to force a meeting between the grieving parents and Ms
Sacoolas, followed by a photo opportunity where he hoped the trio would embrace for the
cameras.

He said Mr O’Brien had behaved like a “nincompoop”

"An Interpol Red Notice has been issued for 42-year-old Anne Sacoolas, the wife of a US intelligence official charged with causing the death of teenage motorcyclist Harry Dunn by dangerous driving," ITV reporter Adam Clark said on Twitter.

IMO she will appear via video link, will be found guilty and be sentenced to serve time in the US which will never happen.

Also IMO this has already been agreed.

Mrs Sacoolas has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving.  From the information available in the public domain, I am not 100% convinced that her driving amounted to dangerous driving.  There is a lesser charge of causing death by careless driving, which although it carries a maximum sentence of 5 years imprisonment. can be dealt with summarily at the Magistrates Court.  The lower end of the sentencing for the causing death by careless driving offence according to sentencing guidelines includes community service and of course suspended prison sentence is available up to a period of six months if the matter is dealt with by Magistrates.

Momentary lack of concentration is a phrase often used is cases of this type and there is some evidence to suggest that this happened in this case when the accused set off driving on the wrong side of the road.  Personally I think she has been overcharged, which I put down to media pressure.

Should she plead guilty to this lesser offence and the prosecution agree to this the matter could be dealt with relatively quickly.  There would probably be a public reaction if she is convicted and not sentenced to imprisonment, however it is probably a case where the police, CPS and the accused would like to be resolved.  

Whatever happens there will be some who will not be satisfied.  The media have kept this case running.

Absolutely, unfortunately I can’t see anything actually happening to her if she is found guilty.

Maybe it depends on how badly the US wants Assange.

 

[andyajn]

The issue in this case is not actually that somebody died in a RTA. It is the fact that the alleged perpetrator fled the country under the guise of diplomatic immunity rather than staying and being tried for the crime. Had that happened it may not even have made the national news even if the sentence on being found guilty was not actually prison time.

Surely it is just coincidence ......🤭

[nampla69]

She was driving on the wrong side of the road happens quite a lot near US airbases.

Sad case and no winners whatever the outcome. 

 

Now that Assange twat I'd lock him up under a mountain prison deep in the bowels of the earth in Utah and melt the keys down for scrap.
