[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s ironic that had she remained (or been allowed to remain) to face justice it would just have been limited to being a very tragic story and both she and the parents could have moved on. [b]She might have faced a charge of death by careless driving and had to serve a short sentence in a low-security prison. [/b]But she could have felt that she was paying for her mistake, and the parents would have been satisfied that justice had been done. But by spiriting her away (after she told the police she was not going anywhere), she may forever feel hunted and haunted. And the parents would forever feel cheated of justice. This is a case of diplomatic immunity badly applied. [/quote]

How do you know this? Just because that's likely what would have happened in the US? I don't know anything about the UK courts system and she probably doesn't either. Honestly, in her shoes I'm pretty sure I would have done what she did. Especially if the government was recommending it, as has been reported. I'm sure she will feel horribly for the rest of her life over what happened, but there was no malicious intent. And the boys parents are deluding themselves to think they'd feel any less awful if she were punished. [/quote]

How do I know this? Because I have spent some time in the UK. And driven on the roads there. On the correct side.

Whisking her away from the carnage she caused is shameful behaviour, and has made this sad event much much worse.[/quote]
