Charlotte Charles and Tim Dunn have asked the United States to extradite to Britain the American suspected of killing their son in a road accident in England. LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- Britain on Friday rebuked the United States for refusing to extradite a diplomat's wife charged over a car crash that killed a British teenager, calling it a "denial of justice."

Sacoolas, who has admitted to being the driver, was charged by British police with causing death by dangerous driving. "This is a lawless, corrupt administration that appears intent on attacking even its closest international ally," Radd Seiger said. The U.S. State Department confirmed it had rejected the request, saying Sacoolas had immunity from criminal jurisdiction during her stay in the U.K.
