It seems bizarre to me that a person with diplomatic immunity could commit a crime, even kill someone in the U.S. and not be prosecuted.

Just to say, what you think might happen, does happen. Most notably recently an American woman who was married to a US diplomat killed a British lad over here by driving wrecklessly. She ran back to the US and has faced no legal repercussions for her actions because the US government doesn’t want her to. All the other comments saying that countries cooperate or that you can’t commit serious crimes… are wrong. The real answer is it depends on where you’re from. The US can strong arm other countries and ignore their requests, but if an embassador from Brazil or something killed an American you bet they’d be consequences.
