You need to stress that you have sought psychiatric help and been repeatedly abandoned in this regard. Hopefully the judge will consider this a mitigation.
It will most likely be three magistrates rather than a Judge although it could be a District Judge. The time for mitigation will come after today (hopefully). Nailit needs to cooperate with probation, show insight and remorse for his offending behaviour and a commitment to change. I wouldnt concentrate too much on the failure of mental health services and put it in a more positive light of saying what HE has done, not what others havent.
