U.K. will no longer offer immunity from criminal prosecution to family of U.S. staff at a military base near where a teenager was killed by a car driven by the wife of an U.S. diplomat.
Her lawyer has said previously that she will not return voluntarily to potentially face jail for"a terrible but unintentional accident."
The State Department also said Sacoolas was covered by diplomatic immunity and could not be extradited, in a move that caused friction with London. NBC News has yet to receive comment from the State Department on the latest U.K. rule change. Family spokesman Radd Seiger speaks on behalf of father of Harry Dunn, Tim Dunn, center right, and mother Charlotte Charles, center left, after meeting with Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab in 2019.to petition him to extradite Sacoolas. During the meeting, Trump dropped a"bombshell" according to Dunn's mother, revealing that Sacoolas was waiting to meet the family in the room next door. The family declined to meet her.
"We have the deepest sympathy for Harry Dunn's family. No family should have to experience what they have gone through and I recognize that these changes will not bring Harry back," Raab said. He said he hoped the change in rules would at least bring"some small measure of comfort" to the Dunn family.
