It is, of course, really good news that Anne Sacoolas has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving after 19-year-old motorcyclist Harry Dunn was killed when his bike was hit by a car being driven on the wrong side of the road at the exit of RAF Croughton near Brackley in Northamptonshire.
Despite the best efforts of Teresa May and Donald Trump to put the matter aside quietly, Harry’s family — his parents and twin brother – despite their deep grief have succeeded in their campaign to bring the matter to court.
The US driver still refuses to return to face the charge which, if proven, can carry a maximum sentence of 14 years’ imprisonment but usually carries a much lesser sentence.
The 14-year sentence is not proportionate, says Sacoolas’ lawyer Amy Jeffress. That same lawyer has said the Sacoolas will never return to the UK voluntarily.
