The old law is that if you were unfit to plead you could be detained at her majesty's pleasure ( which was bad news in this category ) and THAT meant that someone who er hadnt done it ( er no no surely not in this paradise of a legal system no no no ) might be detained for life and be innocent and without a trial ....

This puts me in mind of the recent rape in a town near where I live. A very distressing situation, as the alleged perpetrator has a learning disability. I think it is likely he will merely be sent home and placed "under supervision". The same thing happened recently with a family of brothers who had been abusing children all their lives. Two of them were deemed unfit to plead and went back to live in the same house, in the same village, where the crimes took place.
Yes, that's right, Sandyroe. I couldn't remember their names - one of them commited suicide, one was convicted, and two others were found unfit to plead and they went home to live in the same house, in the same village, where they had abused children for years. Appalling, and so distressing for the victims, who lived in the same small village.
