The US driver who killed 19-year-old motorcyclist Harry Dunn has been advised by her employer, the United States government, not to attend her sentencing hearing in the UK.
"Harry's family are victims of a serious crime and they have been kept in the dark completely about what is to come at Thursday's hearing since Mrs Sacoolas's guilty plea on October 20," Mr Seiger said.
Confirming a renewed videolink application had been granted, an Old Bailey spokesman said: "The application made jointly by the prosecution and defence for Mrs Sacoolas to participate and be sentenced by live link, has been renewed. At her plea hearing, presiding judge Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb encouraged Sacoolas to attend her impending UK sentencing, however admitted she had little power to enforce such a recommendation.
