The case of Keaton Slater, a 12-year-old boy killed by a driver from Latvia, has brought attention to the complexities of international justice and the challenges faced by families seeking accountability. The two-year ordeal endured by Keaton's parents to bring the perpetrator back to face justice highlights the difficulties in navigating cross-border cases.
In cases like this, extradition agreements and cooperation between countries play a crucial role.
