[Jimbuna]

That was yesterday Kai, this is only two hours old.

The US has said its decision to refuse an extradition request for Harry Dunn's alleged killer was final.

So what?

IMO one condition which must be met for extradition is a fair trial. Looking at the reactions here and in other media one can read how this ordeal almost immediately turned political. Comments how she must be returned to face British justice! To receive punishment for killing Harry Dunn. Not one assurance of a fair trial was mentioned, she was already convicted. Screw that, that sounds more like some back water third world justice system that doesn't understand the meaning of fair trial.

Sounds like an arrest warrant to me...

This interpol warrant is simply a sad attempt by the British government and Queen Elizabeth to distract public opinion away from them, lackadaisical emergency medical response, police allowing what the public already sees as the 'killer' to go free, probably way over due on known problems at the intersection which could have made it safer. I'd bet you dollars to donuts they never wanted this to go to trial to begin with. A good American lawyer would cause them too much embarrassment.

“To lose our son was bad enough but to be abandoned and mistreated the way we have been by the British government, who were clearly trying to sweep us under the carpet, is inhumane

There are no winners here both sides are losers imho.

Harry Dunn's parents have lost their High Court battle against the Foreign Office over whether their son's alleged killer had diplomatic immunity.

It's sad it has come to this but I still fail to see how this woman, a mother herself, can sleep at night.

A civil claim for damages against Harry Dunn's alleged killer will remain in the US due to her "refusal" to return to the UK, a judge has ruled.

Mr Dunn, 19, died in a crash near RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire in 2019.

The suspect Anne Sacoolas returned to the US, claiming diplomatic immunity, and an extradition request was blocked.

Mrs Sacoolas, 43, had applied to dismiss the case on the grounds it should be heard in the UK.

The move came despite her legal team admitting she would not agree to face trial due to a "concern" she would not "receive fair treatment".

Mrs Sacoolas has been charged with causing the teenager's death by dangerous driving but an extradition request was rejected by the US government in January last year.

A court hearing in the eastern district of Virginia had previously been told her work in intelligence was "especially a factor" in her departure and that she "fled" the UK for "issues of security".

But at the conclusion of the hearing on Tuesday, Judge Thomas Ellis said: "While it is commendable that defendant Anne Sacoolas admits that she was negligent and that her negligence caused Harry Dunn's death, this does not equate acceptance of responsibility.

"Full acceptance of responsibility entails facing those harmed by her negligence and taking responsibility for her acts where they occurred, in the United Kingdom."

It's been recently determined the Dunn's can sue for damages in the U.S. Tha's something which might help them and give them closure. It will also protect Ms. Sacoolas against extradition and keep her away from British politics mob justice, pitch forks and torches.



But I suppose if you all insist, we could do an exchange. Sarcoolas for the child molester Prince Andrew. He seems to sleeping well at night knowing he doesn't have to present himself in a U.S. court. One, the product of a horrible accident the other a Royal pervert who preys on children. Seems fair.

^What a load of bollocks, if the American police force had any concrete evidence that Prince Andrew the pervert had molested any underage girls it would have been presented to the courts and the UK government by now.
As far as I know no one in the UK has ever been convicted by a jury on hearsay and innuendo alone, the UK courts need real hard evidence before they convict so when you have it, then you can have the horrible little currant with my blessing.

Meanwhile that American currant did a runner knowing full well that it was her fault that that young man was killed, and your government are a willing participant in protecting her from the UK justice system.
Personally I would have given your government fair warning that their stance on this is unacceptable and with no regrets at all any and all American bases in the UK will be closed down until they reconsider their decision.

It seems as if your countries extradition system only works when its not an American citizen that's involved, perhaps the UK government need to grow a pair and remind that senile old bastard you've got for a President that you don't crap on the best ally you've ever had...... or ever will have.

[Jeff-Groves]

That I agree on!

Screw the Beech! Turn her sorry arse over!
Worried about her Intelligence information? Give her a Lobotomy complements of the Government she worked for.
They did warn her going in SCH!

Sounds fine to me. I say bring all our military forces home, but that would mean your country would actually have to defend itself rather than rely on the protection and largess of the US. Are you really sure you'd want us gone?

WWII is far from some minds.
