Compare the UK Great Train Robber Ronald Biggs.
He escaped from jail, lived as a celebrity, protected in Brazil for decades, but finally was caught and jailed long after his buddies in crime were free men.
He contributed to a massive theft and also the invaliding of a train driver.
UK justice simply vindicated itself in his case, despite the many years and positive publicity. He had to serve his time for the crime. Why not American justice too, Mr Simon?
