She has now been charged by the CPS and if she is not willing to come back, she should be tried in her absence, a guilty verdict means if she ever returns to this country she will be arrested to serve her sentence. My heart goes out to Harrys family I lost my eldest son when he was 7, 35years ago and it's still very very raw.
She's not going to return though is she!
They won't extradite her, and nobody in their right mind will voluntarily swap their freedom for a "possible" prison sentence, even if it's for weeks or a few months. And because of her husbands status she will be protected by the powers that be in the U.S.
It's not the desired result at all, but that is how things will pan out no doubt.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
