Harry Dunn: Anne Sacoolas extradition request rejected by US

Summary:
The US has turned down an extradition request for one of its citizens who was charged with causing the death of teenage motorcyclist Harry Dunn. Mr Dunn, 19, died after a crash in Northamptonshire in August which led to the suspect, Anne Sacoolas, leaving for the US under diplomatic immunity. The Home Office had launched extradition proceedings on charges of causing the death by dangerous driving. A spokeswoman said the decision by the US "appears to be a denial of justice". Washington, however, said granting the request would "render the invocation of diplomatic immunity a practical nullity". The US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo turned down the extradition request in an email to the UK Government on Thursday evening, family spokesman Radd Seiger said. The BBC - Harry Dunn: Anne
