Diplomats don't even have to pay parking tickets!


In terms of Anne Sacoolas, she's appearing at the Old Bailey (Central Criminal Court) tomorrow via video link, however any sentence would have to be carried out in the US.

The family of Harry Dunn have already received financial compensation, as the Civil Case in the US led to an out of Court settlement.

Whilst the US/UK agreement regarding the Croughton intelligence base has been reviewed and re-written in order that this never happens again.

As much as I despise what the Chinese are doing - I'm glad someone taught these thugs there are sometimes consequences for their actions. I have no sympathy for violent protestors who hide their faces.

Anne Sacoolas pleaded guilty on Thursday to causing the death of Harry Dunn, a 19-year-old British motorcyclist, in 2019, when she was a State Department employee in England....A State Department official said the decision to decline the extradition request was final. ... At the hearing on Thursday, the judge, Bobbie Cheema-Grubb, said Ms. Sacoolas would be sentenced at the end of November and ordered her to attend court in person, the BBC reported. Death by careless driving carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.

Anne Sacoolas is accused of killing Dunn in a road crash near Northamptonshire after a car hit the teenager’s motorbike in August 2019. She left the U.K. shortly after the incident, after diplomatic immunity was asserted on her behalf by the U.S. government.

Of course the families fight will no doubt be told in documentaries, tv mini series or films, and won't reflect the US Government in a very good light, but then again you reap what you sow.

As for the Chinese Consulate, the British Government is reviewing events and will be taking relevant action according to recent media reports.
