[matticus]

Is there an old thread on this? Can't find it.

I had the share this, as reading Harry's mum's statement really shook me up.

Pleaded guilty, not found guilty.

oh.

"any sentence I pass is unlikely to be enforceable while the defendant remains outside of the United Kingdom."

If I remember correctly, she was a US citizen driving on the wrong side of a UK road. She was quickly given diplomatic immunity.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

oh.

Could you amend the title, perhaps, so it's accurate.

That poor family.

She was quickly given diplomatic immunity.

She falsely claimed to have diplomatic immunity. It would only apply in London.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

That poor family.

They have behaved in a very dignified way throughout, I think.

Show trial, Nothing will happen to her anyway, the whole thing is a waste of time.
If I was the family I'd just have moved on knowing how the U.K works. They wont get any justice. Its sad.

His mother is on record today after the guilty plea that she was satisfied that she had obtained justice for her son Harry. She further went on to state that she did not and never had the wish that Mrs Sagoolis's children be deprived of their mother.

There may be better and more appropriate cases to use to make political points.

I had freind whose girl freind pulled out into an A road and a motorcyclist was going far too fast and went over the bonnet, and was fatally injured.

The shock of what happened lived with her for months until she took her own life.

The guilt is enough for any person.

 

[Petrichorwheels]

The case is a diplomatic stitch-up.
Careless driving for being on the wrong side of the road?
Like to see anyone else getting that charge, and being able to be tried from the other side of the world/not appearing in court.
Profound sympathy for the family. They clearly want release from the hell.
Totally understandable.
