She'll never set foot in the UK again, she's got away with it and knows it

You are probably right. But at least she will be a fugitive from justice and will always have that hanging over her. Then when the US wants a favour, and they surely will, we should remind them of their pathetic stance.She'll never set foot in the UK again, she's got away with it and knows it

The US has indicated it will reject attempts to extradite Anne Sacoolas to the UK to face charges over Harry Dunn's death.
In a statement following the decision by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to charge the diplomat's wife with death by dangerous driving, the State Department said returning her to the UK would be an "egregious abuse".
"The use of an extradition treaty to attempt to return the spouse of a former diplomat by force would establish an extraordinarily troubling precedent," the statement said.
The lawyer for the driver has said she "will not return voluntarily to the United Kingdom to face a potential jail sentence".
Charlotte Charles and Tim Dunn, the parents of 19-year-old Harry Dunn, broke down in tears after learning of the decision to bring charges.
Mrs Sacoolas, 42, has now been charged with causing death by dangerous driving. She was informed by her lawyer of the charges and that there will be an attempt to extradite her.
The family was one of the first to be informed by the director Max Hill that Mrs Sacoolas would be charged. The home secretary and foreign secretary were informed afterwards.
Speaking outside the CPS' office, mother Charlotte Charles thanked those who had supported their case, including the media, and said: "We feel like we've taken a huge step in the start of achieving the promise [of justice] to Harry."
Sky's diplomatic editor, Dominic Waghorn says the state department's response would seem to be at odd with the Foreign Office position.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has told parliament that staff at the base such as Mr Sacoolas were not entitled to diplomatic immunity, only their spouses.
He also said immunity clearly ended Mrs Sacoolas left the UK. British position would appear to be therefore that neither enjoy diplomatic protection.
In the US State Department statement, the spokesperson added: "We express our deepest sympathies and offer condolences to the Dunn family for their loss. We will continue to look for options for moving forward.
"We are disappointed by today's announcement and fear that it will not bring a resolution closer."

She would but it's not gonna happen. When it comes to the crunch the gutless coward will do everything to avoid coming back hereImagine the respect she’d gain if she came back and faced the music?

Don't worry. Why do you think Prince Philip has disappeared from view recently? All this hospital stuff was just cover and he's working on Project Underpass 2 as we speak.She would but it's not gonna happen. When it comes to the crunch the gutless coward will do everything to avoid coming back here
Seriously, the USA is quite happy to extradite autistic kids but doesn't like it when the boot is on the other foot.
