   LONDON — A U.S. diplomat's wife accused of killing 19-year-old   
   motorcyclist Harry Dunn while driving on the wrong side of a   
   road in England has been charged with causing death by dangerous   
   driving, authorities said Friday.   
      
   Anne Sacoolas, 42, flew back to the United States three weeks   
   after the crash in August near RAF Croughton in   
   Northamptonshire. The State Department has said Sacoolas is   
   covered by diplomatic immunity and cannot be extradited.   
      
   The Crown Prosecution Service, which handles criminal cases in   
   the United Kingdom, confirmed the charge Friday and said it had   
   started an extradition process in order for her to return to the   
   country and appear in court.   
      
   “Following the death of Harry Dunn in Northamptonshire, the   
   Crown Prosecution Service has today authorized Northamptonshire   
   Police to charge Anne Sacoolas with causing death by dangerous   
   driving," Chief Crown Prosecutor Janine Smith said.   
      
   The U.K. Home Office is responsible for making extradition   
   requests and the decision may be ultimately up to Prime Minister   
   Boris Johnson, who has previously called for Sacoolas to return   
   to the U.K.   
      
   Britain's foreign minister Dominic Raab welcomed the charging   
   decision. "I hope that Anne Sacoolas will now realize the right   
   thing to do is to come back to the U.K. and cooperate with the   
   criminal justice process," he said in a statement.   
      
   However, Sacoolas' lawyer Amy Jeffress said in the statement   
   that her client "will not return voluntarily to the United   
   Kingdom to face a potential jail sentence for what was a   
   terrible but unintentional accident."   
      
   "A potential penalty of 14 years imprisonment is simply not a   
   proportionate response," she said. "We have been in contact with   
   the U.K. authorities about ways in which Anne could assist with   
   preventing accidents like this from happening in the future, as   
   well as her desire to honor Harry’s memory."   
      
   A U.S. Department of State spokesperson said the decision to   
   press charges was not a "helpful development."   
      
   After offering their "deepest sympathies" to the Dunn family for   
   their loss, they said: "We are disappointed by today’s   
   announcement and fear that it will not bring a resolution closer.   
      
   They added that the U.S. had been clear that Sacoolas had   
   diplomatic immunity at the time of the accident occurred and the   
   U.K.'s foreign minister had "stated the same in Parliament."   
      
   Dunn's family has been campaigning for her to face justice and   
   traveled to Washington, D.C., to make their case. They met   
   President Donald Trump in October and were given what they   
   called a "bombshell" offer to meet Sacoolas in the White House,   
   which they declined.   
      
   "We set out so long ago and we believed and we believed, and   
   we've done it, we've got the charge. It's amazing," Harry's   
   father, Tim Dunn, told Sky News.   
      
   Hire the Clintons to take the bitch out.  They've taken people   
   out for less.
