- Why would I take your word at face value? Can you give references (specific
- laws or court precedents)?
-
- I would really be surprised if the US works the way you say. I certainly know
- that a Danish truck driver who causes an accident in which people get killed on
- a Yugoslav road CAN be tried in Denmark - I know of such a case, where Denmark
- demanded extradiction but Yugoslavia refused (he would be a lot better off
- under Danish law - but he would stand trial).
-
- But than, the US are on another planet in many respects, so maybe you are
- right. But you'd have to give me some substantial evidence.
