The U.S. and U.K. have agreed to end an “anomaly” that allowed Anne Sacoolas, the wife of an American diplomat accused of running over British teenager Harry Dunn last year, to claim diplomatic immunity.”It’s important that we have now agreed with the U.S. new arrangements that have closed the anomaly that led to the denial of justice in the heartbreaking case of Harry Dunn,” U.K. Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab announced on Wednesday. “The new arrangements mean it could not happen again. I know these changes won’t bring Harry back, and I appreciate the pain and suffering the family are still going through. But I hope this may bring some small measure of comfort to them, because I know they want to prevent any other family going through the same ordeal they have”
Charlotte Charles, Dunn’s mother, told ABC News said she had a “positive reaction” and was “very pleased” with the ruling. Her son, she said, “absolutely and utterly deserves justice.”
