It may be a short trial, but I don't think it can just be closed without question
- jjgreen 3y agoFrom the BBC: Following his arrest, Chail was sectioned under the Mental Health Act and diagnosed as psychotic shortly afterwards. As the judge weighed up the sentence, the extent to which his mental health issues influenced Chail's actions featured heavily. But the judge concluded Chail had experienced homicidal thoughts that he acted upon before becoming psychotic - and therefore deserved a prison sentence. In the end, he was given a hybrid order, which means Chail will remain at Broadmoor high-security hospital until he is well enough to serve his sentence in prison. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-66108009 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-66108009
