US rejects UK extradition request for diplomat's wife involved in hit and run | Sky News Australia

The United States has turned down Britain's request for the extradition of a US diplomat's wife involved in a car accident that killed British teenager Harry Dunn. The family's local MP says they are disappointed in the decision labelling it a denial of justice.

The teenager died in a head-on crash on August 27 last year, near a US Military base in Northamptonshire. The driver of the car, Anne Sacoolas, claimed diplomatic immunity and returned to America, where she has been since Harry died. The family spokesperson says it's the first time the U-S has turned down a UK extradition request. Britain's home office will now consider its options.

Laura Bush must be proud.

Bloody disgrace

Hope but not holding my breath that UK rejects extradition of Assange to USA

3eaa44837188449 Why? Do the crime, pay the time.

This isn't good. Diplomatic immunity was not designed for this type of thing. Justice must be seen to be done. SAD. DonaldJTrumpJr realDonaldTrump POTUS

Is this the lady that met Trump and we were all talking about powerful motherhood holding gov to account?

Murderers can’t hide from everyone 😡

Here I am thinking an extradition agreement meant that you couldn’t refuse a request. What’s the point of an agreement if you can still say no.

And so should UK ignore the extradition of assange

The Us is wrong in this decision. For a country who always espouses justice, their attitude just does not add up.

that's low of them

Let's hope the UK has a long memory when the roles are reversed. How did the diplomat's wife get out the country?

How can this woman sleep at night! I hope she is haunted by what she did for the rest of her life. The denial to extradite is disgusting!

Ahhh the protection of the elite and corrupt

reciprocate - dont extradite wikileaks founder Julian Assange

Not good enough U.S.A.
