So basically disqualified from driving for a year..Anne Sacoolas received a sentence of 8 months prison suspended for 12 months
and disqualified from driving (in the UK only) for 12 months for a charge of death
(of motorcyclist Harry Dunn) by careless driving.
In a country she's not even in!! I doubt she'll have the neck to return too soon, either...So basically disqualified from driving for a year..
How does that compare in the UK to other similar cases?Anne Sacoolas received a sentence of 8 months prison suspended for 12 months
and disqualified from driving (in the UK only) for 12 months for a charge of death
(of motorcyclist Harry Dunn) by careless driving.
Well banned from driving in the UK ! So basically she is charged with nothingSo basically disqualified from driving for a year..
This judgment sux big time...imagine how the family feels right now...insultingWell banned from driving in the UK ! So basically she is charged with nothing
Which is amazing as she had a previous conviction for not paying attention behind the wheel in 2006
I was thinking she'd get off light but not this light!!!!This judgment sux big time...imagine how the family feels right now...insulting

Rose Tattoo 'Assault And Battery'
I saw it on BBC news earlierThe Sky article looks to be a reasonable summary of what I remember.
Perhaps a better, more detailed, one is on the BBC web site as a current top story.
It has featured as a top story on the BBC TV News since I did the ironing this afternoon.
Is it being featured elsewhere around the world ?
So NO consequence at allI saw it on BBC news earlier
It stated she was given the suspended sentence but crucially it said she had a 12 months driving ban but failed to state the ban applied only in the UK!
Please, tell us more...Not entirely sure, but IIRC they were invited by Trump on the understanding that he would help
to get Anne Socoolas to return to the UK for the trial. But Trump was hoping for a moment of
glory in the media for bring the two partied together and "sort their problem"
Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.
As you say the real crime was leaving a dying person at the scene.
IIRC Harry spoke his last words to to Anne Socoolas as he died.
At the scene AS said to those that arrived soon after that she was responsible.
Then Anne Sacoolas absconded the country to avoid prosecution. AND was then proyected
by the American Government.
Apparently it is not an isolated incident. A US lady was arrested and stopped from leaving
the UK recently when she killed somebody when driving on the wrong side of the road outside
RAF Lakenheath a US Air base.
A spokesman for Harry's parents stated outside the Old Bailey that thousands had been killed
by US personnel driving on the wrong side (for UK) in the past. I find it difficult to believe
it is thousands.
