UK charges US diplomat's wife over teen's death in crash

[Pachamama]

25. Her husband is a spook (yes, a spy) and was working at the listening station base in UK

You can refer to what IMpotus’s State Dept says, but I suggest you read Article 10, 39 and Article 41 of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Immunity pertaining diplomatic immunity and see that this is not fact that she has diplomatic immunity.

Here is a good summary of those articles in the convention on Diplomatic Immunity:

Article 10: According to Article 10; the receiving country should be notified of any decision to leave, which neither Sacoolas nor embassy officials did.

Article 39: According to Article 39, the privileges of the embassy and its staff begin and end at their border. In other words, In returning to the U.S., (along with not notifying the UK government), Sacoolas has lost those rights and entitlements.

Under Article 41: Envoys and their dependents are expected to observe the laws of the receiving country. (Clearly she didn’t do that)

Finally, the US can waive the “privilege” should they choose to.

How do I know this shit? Because I am the kid of a former spook who lived abroad and had to learn these things and understand them.

Anne Sacoolas should not be protected by diplomatic immunity and is in addition to being guilty of manslaughter and running the scene - a despicable coward.

My guess is she was drunk at the time and that explains why she handled the matter this way. She had a perfectly good explanation and defense at the scene of the accident that as an American she made a mistake of driving on the wrong side of the road. Instead she ran and got out of town fast - why exactly?



Now she hides in US and tried to have IMpotus pay off the family for her killing their son.

She should be sent back to the UK and stand trial. A different administration wouldn’t be protecting her and would simply waive the immunity immediately.

But this is Trump Administration and this kind of behavior is apparently OK for them and they thought money makes it alright.

It doesn’t - and normally she would have faced short prison time or probation and community service. But everything she has done shows not only guilt but frankly no responsibility or remorse. She likes to say she is a mother and understands. If she wanted to be a good example to her kids, she should take responsibility for what she did and the consequences.
