'Why didn't you go to UK to attend court?'Judge Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb was critical of Sacoolas for not attending the sentencing hearing in person.
"I bear in mind that this was a short period of driving and you were not familiar with English roads. The death of Harry Dunn is, of course, the highest degree of harm. Her barrister, Ben Cooper KC, also told the court that Sacoolas had been subject to harassment and multiple death threats and had moved home several times.Speaking outside the Old Bailey, Harry's mother, Charlotte Charles, gave an emotional speech in which she said that Sacoolas would have a"criminal record for the rest of her life".
She acknowledged she was driving on the wrong side of the road, with speed not a factor and a breath test for alcohol showing negative, the court was told.In a victim impact statement, Ms Charles, sobbed as she described how her"world turned upside down".
She should have had a longer sentence and made to serve it
So sentenced to nothing then and even if she had been given a custodial sentence it wouldn’t have been enforced cos she’s in the US and they wouldn’t extradite her! The whole thing is a joke and Insulting to Harry’s family!!
Disgraceful
Feel so sorry for Harry's family, the sentence doesn't match the crime. If Sacoolas had stayed waited at the scene I might have had some sympathy for her

It would have been better for Sacoolas to appear in person whatever the US government said. This has taken 3 years and totally unacceptable. The sentence handed down was in my opinion too lenient. However this will bring closure to the grieving Dunn family .
Joke, whole thing a waste of time.
No remorse only words spoken have a nice day she killed there son terrible
She should have got longer, she evaded arrest and deserved longer.
Stuff her in a suitcase and bring her to the UK 🤪
And if Harry Dunn had caused the death of Anne Sacoolas by recklessly driving on the wrong side of the road, one can only wonder what sentence he would have got in a US court? 175yrs based on current US Sentencing policy?
Good man James
Because she is a privileged American! Who doesn't need to answer to her crimes the same way as everyone else!
James Matthews is an excellent journalist. Fair play to him for persevering here, her lack of contrition spoke volumes.
... didn't return , knowing nothing would happen. CPSUK
She thinks she’s got away with it, wait till god catches up with her!
call her out

Harry Dunn: Anne Sacoolas being sentenced over Harry Dunn death - BBC NewsWatch live as judge sentences US citizen Anne Sacoolas for causing death of 19-year-old Harry Dunn by careless driving Wonder if your average citizen would have received a suspended sentence if they committed the same crime 🤔 Causing the death of another human being….leaving the scene of the accident…fleeing abroad to avoid prosecution. 8 months suspended What an absolute judicial joke Think this would be correct sentence if she actually shown remorse by showing up in the court. As she failed to do so it should be unconditional prison.

Harry Dunn death: Full text of Anne Sacoolas' statement during sentencingAnne Sacoolas, the US citizen guilty of killing the 19-year-old motorcyclist Harry Dunn by careless driving in Northamptonshire, released a statement during her sentencing. Only punishment is life in prison A SUSPENDED sentence after fleeing justice. Despicable. Not only did Sacoolas kill someone, though accidently, she evaded justice by running like a fugitive. For that, her guilty plea should not have gotten her a lesser sentence. This was a pantomime court for Xmas.

Latest: 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube She wasn’t sorry. But not sorry enough to appear in court in person This sentence was always the likely outcome; hardly worth skipping the country for. She made a mistake many of us have made whilst travelling. It was unfortunate timing and Harry Dunn died as a result. It's about intention, rather than the outcome of the action.
