why has Anne Sacoolas been tried for manslaughter ?
she hasnt
she was indicted for causing death by dangerous driving
and pleaded guilty to a lesser charge
( can't remember)
the only case of a car being used in manslaughter is here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Andrew_Harper
Policeman dragged and killed by two travellers stealing a car. There has been a law change since then.
Sacoolas is a special case which we shouldnt dwell upon. Diplomatic immunity is NOT extended to driving to a fro work for the named diplomat - but was for his wife
The change is badly worded and favoured Mrs Sacoolas.
She was let go at the scene and I STILL say she should have been arrested and the immunity sorted out in the local nick....
Judgie-baby was expecting her to return ( but her masters told her no) and was a bit fazed when she didnt turn up and this was the best that cd be done.
