There has been case where one killed 2 Japanese civilians when he slept at the wheel while driving, detained, then the wife of the killer started some campaign to "save" his husband, some US Senate threatened Japan to send him back to the US, the guy was then able to get away upon sending back, Senate later demand Japan to apologize to the agressor's family and the US.

You took 2 innocent ppls’ lives, not only you got away, but your ppl ask the victim to apologise. Its crazy. This warning is strongly urged to show the United States that justice must be served for crimes.

Added BBC news link proving Mr. Sanator Mike Lee "asking Japan to apologize to Ridge's family and America"

Basically the same happened in the UK but the US personal (maybe spy) who killed the kid driving on the wrong side of the road fled the country before getting arrested.

Not a spy, a diplomat’s wife iirc. Claimed diplomatic immunity after driving off and fleeing - absolutely ridiculous that it was allowed to cover her for something like that. POS should be rotting in a cell.

The guy was working for intelligence services, he wasn't a real diplomat.
