On Thursday, a lady from the United States pled guilty to causing an accident that resulted in the death of a motorcyclist from the United Kingdom who was 19 years old. This accident has been a source of tension between the two countries. In August of 2019, Harry Dunn was killed after his motorcycle was involved in an accident with a car that was driving on the incorrect side of the road close to a U.S. airbase in southern England.
Anne Sacoolas, whose husband was an official in the United States of America, fled Britain shortly after the event and claimed that she was protected by diplomatic immunity. She entered her plea in a court in London by a video connection from the United States district court in Washington. The passing of the sentence is anticipated for the following month.
Since the accident, Dunn’s parents have been spearheading a high-profile struggle to obtain justice for their son, all the while the United States authorities have refused to extradite the woman. Read more: 2018’s Emotional Sentencing South Boston Stroller Accident Kills Boy
“I just want her to take responsibility for what she has done to our family as a whole as well as to my kid. I want her to own it. And I need to ask her why she left, why she thought it was okay to leave my kid there and — and simply leave the country, I need to ask her why she thought it was OK to do both of those things “In 2021, Dunn’s father Tim Dunn gave an interview to CBS News.
Schools were initially charged with causing death by risky driving, but he pled guilty to a lesser charge of careless driving, which carries a possible sentence of up to five years in jail. Sacoolas’s sentence will be reduced accordingly. Charlotte Charles, Dunn’s mother, said in an interview with Sky News that she felt “sheer relief.”
“I believe that this is the sensation that is overpowering us; it’s simply pure relief that we can look up and say, “Harry, we’ve done it, buddy.” We have fulfilled our end of the bargain.” Read more: Domestic Abuse is a Possible Motive in the Death of an MTA Bus Driver, According to Police
