Independent Leyton Orient Forum

There was discussion the other week on here re:- 24 Hours in Police Custody shows the reality and truth behind real crimes. One episode showed Adam White who spent months in prison after chasing two burglars away from his home before hitting them with his car.
I see today Anne Sacoolas was given a suspended jail sentence for killing Harry Dunn buy driving on the wrong side of the road. Two tier justice system?

Anne Sacoolas has been sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for 12 months.

She has also been disqualified from driving for 12 months.

Its an insult.

Bloomin Wimmin getting away with sh!t again !!!

The British govt rolled over once again for the US.

When its the other way around and they want someone extradited, we'll do it.

There's some subtle differences between the two cases.
Adam White deliberately run down the two alleged burglars, whereas as Ann Seculars accidentally run down Harry Dunn.
Having said all that, I would bet the USA Government told our government not to jail her.

Puts the GREAT in britain .

So long as you remember the British legal system is not there to deliver justice you will understand it more.

It would be more accurately described as the British Legal System. You go to court to get law, justice may or may not happen.

Spens gonna have a field day

That's not a subtle difference.

We will never know for sure whether Sacoolas meant it or not. She was too chicken to stand up in court.

Correct. For all we know, Ann Sucondick deliberately ran him down as revenge for the UK government not joining in on US air stikes in Syria.

Did he deliberately run them down?

I understood he was pursuing them but then lost control of the car and accidentally collided with them.

There is a subtle difference though - the yank is a killer, this bloke didn’t kill anyone.

I've watched countless blogs on youtube, where the Yanks come over here. They can't handle: roundabouts, manual cars & driving on the "wrong " side of the road. One admitted he almost had a nervous breakdown driving a mile or so in Edinburgh. If they don't like obeying our laws, maybe we should not allow them to drive when they come over. There is obviously a problem

Intent matters.

Of course. No one is saying she meant to hit him, just as he never meant to hit the burglars. Difference is she done a runner from the crime scene and the country, leaving the poor young man there to die, whilst he didn't.

The conjuction of means, motive and opportunity. Is it only me and The Ginger Detective who rightly suspect fowl play.

imagine working for your country's intelligence services but forgetting what side of the road to drive on

It hasn't been established beyond reasonable doubt that she just "forgot".

An American driving a hire car once drove all of 3 miles from Glasgow Airport straight into the back of my stationary Chrysler Grand Voyager as I sat in traffic on the M8 at Govan. They are a violent nation and should never be trusted.

Why is this Anne Sacoolas being protected? Because she's a spy?

Why were the Dunn family told everything was destroyed in an explosion?
