The real scandal in all this is that irrespective of the law this woman is morally obliged to answer for her crime. If she was any sort of person with any sort of honour she would return to England and sincerely demonstrate to the victim's family that she is mortified by what happened.
Her refusal to do this is cowardly and betrays a lack of sincere remorse on her part.
Diplomatic immunity and the law are all very well, but in terms of what is right and true she has very little ground to stand on.
I am amazed at how many people here are defending the American government's choice and seem quite content to let her off even though she is guilty of a hit and run that resulted in someone's death. In any other circumstance you would all be condemning the perpetrator but because she's one of yours you defend her.
