Mikey1874 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) The Chief Constable today mentioned more than once how devastated the American woman and her family are. Angling perhaps for that being her punishment. Police going to America is partly to see how hard it is for her.

AFTER SHE HAD LEFT....if they had done it straight away she may not have been able to leave We are meant to believe that they are doing their best when clearly they are not I really don't care about how upset the American is...not too upset though as she left asp Our police should be looking after the victims family not worrying about the other party Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Despite repeated warnings during phone calls about this very easy thing to do, our daughter done it and paid with her life, I am sure she, and I know we are consoled that the other driver was uninjured. I learned to drive, and was a police trained driver in Edinburgh, but whilst back on vacation done exactly the same thing coming out of a gas station. This woman is possibly sentencing herself to a life of conscience, where if she faced it and showed some compassion for the family would possibly be forgiven for what may have been a simple act of inattention with no malice aforethought.

Surely they could still achieve accountability and justice of sorts by persuing Anne Sacoolas through the courts in America and try and get a ruling against her in the States, but by going after both the British & American governments at the same time as Sacoolas, I fear all that is going to happen now is a closing of ranks and it wouldn't surprise me now that any civil case against Sacoolas goes nowhere fast, certainly now if Trump has anything to do with it, surely it would have been much better to try and keep Trump on your side. Just feel that it would be much better to have fought one battle at a time, go after Sacoolas first before trying to take on the British & American authorities, goodness knows what toll fighting multiple battles against multiple people at the same time will have on the family.

One of our company lawyers just happened to be walking past as I read this so I asked his opinion. He knows about the story somehow already. He says that as the crime/act wasn't committed on US soil/territory, the Justice Department has no jurisdiction to bring criminal proceedings. However, he thinks it would be possible for the family to bring a civil case (which basically means suing her) in the US on the grounds that she lives here and would not voluntarily return to the UK for a trial there. In other words, if you can provide adequate justification for doing it in the US, then a judge would probably allow it.

Yip, that's exactly what the family are doing, pursuing a civil case, I think by now they must know that they are never ever going to get a criminal conviction as long as she remains in the States. Personally, the best that I think they could hope for is to win a case for damages against her, thereby a court has ruled that Anne Sacoolas is responsible for their son's death, it's not what the family want but it's probably the best outcome that they can achieve.
