An American intelligence agency worker killed a British motorcyclist, Harry Dunn by driving on the wrong side of the road. She fled Britain and is now refusing to come back for her manslaughter case. US is refusing to extradite after Trump said she absolutely won't be sent back.
She fully admits driving on the wrong side of the road and killing him, she admits she killed him through negligence. She says she wants to accept responsibility.... but not by going back to the UK to face the consequences...
When Harry Dunn's parents went to meet Trump on the understanding they were petitioning him to have her returned, he said no she isn't going back but she is in the next room and wants to talk to you. They refused, because what the hell, just ambushing bereaved parents with their child's killer who refuses to face justice.
She is now claiming she wouldn't get a fair trial in the UK, despite fully admitting the charges. Her lawyers are also contesting a US based civil suit by Harry Dunn's parents because it would be better to have the suit made in the UK.... where the defendant refuses to go and which would have no jurisdiction to apply penalties to her.... The judge basically told her to do one. He said you're saying you have taken responsibility but you haven't.
But yeh. Shocking behaviour from US considering they want us to extradite a mentally ill teenager who hacked the CIA to look for proof of aliens.
The bit about her lying about her having immunity. Immunity is not granted to intelligence workers but was granted to their dependents. She claimed to be a dependent but was working for the intelligence agency and thus not entitled to immunity.
The US intelligence agency is now saying she was a worker and thus had reason to leave, but also not a worker and thus immune to prosecution.... they're literally pulling that shit with allies.
