I think you need more solid examples.

> Arrest and extradition at America's demand.

Was he extradited? The article you linked to suggests not.

> Anne Sacoolas kills someone in the UK by negligent driving? No extradition. This article says: "Sacoolas admitted causing death by careless driving, which carries a maximum sentence of five years imprisonment. Justice Bobbie Cheema-Grubb said Sacoolas' actions were "not far short of deliberately dangerous driving," but she reduced the penalty because of Sacoolas' guilty plea and previous good character."

Which seems to suggest you should blame a UK judge for letting Sacoolas go free, no?

Sacoolas went free because she fled the country immediately after the accident, while making specious claims of diplomatic immunity.

By the time it got to trial, Sacoolas was already beyond the reach of law. The only decision the judge faced was whether to further the controversy or brush it under the rug.
