However, she seems to think she shouldn't/isn't! That is interesting. She has obviously made things much worse for herself then.

Bookworm	Diplomatic immunity may be different from other official immunities. Sometimes it extends to spouses and family. Unbeknown to most who are given it. Some people are just born in to it. Knowing what I do about immunity elsewhere: Small time crime and some financial crimes are covered by immunity, but blatant physical harm is not.
Barney	The Vienna Convention brought about the concept/laws of Diplomatic Immunity - which was not meant to give protection, in cases like this. Essentially/seemingly - a civil case, where a middle-aged bored housewife (in this country for 2/3 weeks) doesn't bother acclimatising to local laws. Then lies about her future whereabouts, disappears, is supported (hidden?) by US authorities - and expects everyone to forget the tragic and fatal incident. Remorse - none! Regret or condolences either. Even though this confident and uncaring lady had been cited for traffic violations in Virginia before. It's no secret that US military bases - here and elsewhere in Europe (albeit an economic benefit to the local community) - seem impervious to relevant legislations. Many use the $ on base, ridicule the backward limies (we make their aircraft/weapons) and expect eternal gratitude for help in WWII.

Yes, when this story came on the news the other day I was thinking that there's the law (her diplomatic immunity) and then there's human decency. Interesting that she hasn't returned to her US home.
