[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look my heart goes out to her. A tragedy. But she should have stayed. I’m not judging her actions that day—it could have happened to any of us. An accident. I am judging her decision to flee.[/quote]

To be fair, the US Government told her to leave. When you have diplomatic immunity you have no rights to waive that immunity; only the US Government can waive her immunity.

She doesn't get to question that decision, they will forcibly put her on a plane. Even if she wanted to go back right now, I bet that her passport has been confiscated and she can't leave the US.

That said, I still believe the UK is fully within their rights to file an extradition request. I also think she should be held financially responsible for her actions. [/quote]

Can you provide the link that DOS actually ordered her to leave? This is not how diplomatic immunity works.[/quote]

I’ve read it several places over time. Here’s the first one I could quickly find:

“The police went back again Sept. 15 to place Sacoolas under formal questioning in a wrongful death inquiry but she, her husband, Jonathan, and their three children had left the country, claiming diplomatic immunity. The U.S. Embassy in London said they did so on the advice of the U.S. State Department. “
