The woman who killed Harry Dunn has managed to dodge jail for the 19-year-old's death. Anne Sacoolas, 45, from the US admitted last month that she had accidentally killed the teen while driving a Volvo near a US military base in August 2019.
Today, at the Old Bailey and live on television, she was sentenced by Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb to 8 months, suspended for a year. Sacoolas, who appeared via videolink, was spared jail time in the UK because she is still currently in the US, the Mirror reports.
The hearing is one out of a handful of sentencings which have been broadcasted live to the public for the first time in British legal history. Harry tragically lost his life on August 27, 2019, when Sacoolas was travelling down the wrong side of the road in her car outside the American military base RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire in August.
