Re: US diplomat's wife leaves UK after fatal crash - claims immunity
It's not as if the UK has accepted every US extradition request. The UK is always looking for a feeble excuse to refuse.

Why is it so much easier to extradite someone from the UK to the U.S. than in the other direction
It isn’t. The United States has not denied a single extradition request from the UK under the treaty; the UK has denied 10 requests from the U.S. since the treaty took effect.
Moreover, extradition requests from the U.S. to the UK have taken as long as 13 years to work their way through the UK and European courts. For extradition requests from the UK to the U.S. the subjects are in most cases extradited within several months.
