Gueorgui Makharadze was Georgian deputy ambassador to America, he killed a girl in a drink driving crash in the mid nineties and some how had his immunity revoked and was tried and convicted of manslaughter so it's not pointless, even if they refuse to waive her immunity it's not pointless as the family can then sue the American government in a US court

They don't usually but I get the feeling this isn't going away anytime soon and how hypocritical will it look in a US court when old Gueorgui is wheeled out and his story explained.
