- everforward 2y agoSort of. My understanding is that the UK decided she did not have immunity, but the US disagreed and refused to extradite her. Then she agreed to voluntarily appear (virtually) and plead guilty, but was given a suspended sentence because the judge noted there was no way to enforce any actual punishment. So you’re right, though it played out basically the same way it would have if she was immune. The UK was never actually able to punish her, but they do technically get to say she was found guilty.
