Much say in what? Trump's attempted photo op? Or the negotiations over how and when she is finally going to return to Britain to take responsibility for her actions?[/quote]

She’s not ever going back. This is all for show by the U.K. govt to appease the family and say they tried. I’m not sure what the Dunn’s thought would happen by “meeting with Trump.”

The US is not going to extradite her and she’s be insane to go back willingly. I’m shocked this story is even still in the news.[/quote]

I agree. It was a terrible accident. She did cooperate with the police, and wasn't barred from returning to the U.S. She also left 3 weeks later. A lot of this is trial by media. I'm sure at this point she is doing what her lawyer advises.[/quote]

Of course she should go back and face the consequences for her actions. WTF?

Actually, the US Government/Embassy advised her and the family to leave and are advising her not to return to the UK. So what she "should" do is a lot more complicated than your feelings on the matter.[/quote]

Not "my feelings" - just basic ethics and morality. Sorry you struggle to see that.

I don't struggle to see that. I am capable of having empathy for both parties here. The woman made a horrible horrible mistake and I have no doubt that she knows this and will live with it for the rest of her life. She stayed for 3 weeks after the accident and was cooperative. She ultimately left under the strong advice and instruction of the US Government who sent her family to the UK in the first place. They are advising her now not to return to the UK. [b]Was she supposed to refuse them? Is she supposed to openly defy them now? [/b] They provide her housing and her family's livelihood. To vilify her over this one aspect of the situation without acknowledging the complex circumstances is absurd. [/quote]

Yes. Yes, she should. Otherwise, she will never get past it. She needs this to move on as well. Imagine having this hang over your head for the rest of your life. Stop running and go face the consequences.

You are NUTS. The US Government is the only employer her husband has ever had. His skill set is highly specialized and no doubt he wants and needs to retain his employment. They will not, nor should they, go against the advice of the US Government. That would be extremely self-destructive.

She will receive counseling. The family will receive a new assignment, likely domestic for a while, they will perhaps change their last name. And in a few years most people will have forgotten. Laura Bush became first lady for crying out loud and Ted Kennedy a senator, both after accidentally killing someone and serving no jail time or even being charged. And lets not forget that the UK has neither charged Sacoolas nor asked the US to extradite her (which they cannot do unless they charge her.)[/quote]
