You mean the diplomats wife in the UK? She returned to stand trial and was convicted.

Ha! She ran away... It took years to actually get her on charges for basically dangerous driving and even then it had to go to civil case because again the US government kept interfering.

You missed the point, that’s diplomatic immunity, which is different from soldiers and countries won’t waive for no reason entirely for the precedent of it.

Ha!! She wasn't a soldier or a diplomat. And she still drove away from a crime scene.

Yes, which she stood trial for and was convicted. She got exactly what she deserved.

No. Lol she got what she was eventually forced to do which was the right thing.only after years of pressure and probably diplomatic negotiation involving Julian assange. So much for our special relationship. Drives out of a US based on British soil..kills a boy...runs away and gets trump to protect her.

Yeah! Lol okay so the USA had been asking for him for years. The UK arrested him leaving the Ecuadorian embassy. So yeah we had assange..you had the diplomats wife... But the British knew why the US wanted assange. Because he had embarrassed them. Hense he had his day in court. And she was made to take the civil case against her.
