U.K. court to hold hearing in U.S. diplomatic immunity case after teen's road death

The Crown Prosecution Service said there will be a hearing in the case against Anne Sacoolas at London's Westminster Magistrates' Court on Thursday -- an apparent breakthrough in the long-deadlocked case.

British prosecutors previously set a January 2022 date for the hearing, but cancelled it days beforehand to allow for discussions with Sacoolas' lawyers. At the time, the law firm representing Sacoolas denied that she had agreed to appear in a British court.Sacoolas, 45, has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving in the death of 19-year-old Harry Dunn, who was killed in a collision with a car outside RAF Croughton, an air base in eastern England used by U.S.

Sacoolas returned to the U.S. days later and the American government invoked diplomatic immunity on her behalf, prompting an outcry in Britain. Dunn's family have pressed politicians in Britain and the United States to get Sacoolas to face British justice, but an extradition request was refused by U.S. authorities.
