bazwillrun - //I have a friend who is a pretty well respected barrister and has worked on some high profile cases...as he has often said of a lot of crims facing a long stretch..try and plead insanity as a "hospital" stretch is far easier and preferable to a prison...and it seems hes right, suttcliffe is already complaining that he will lose certain luxurys if he goes to a normal prison....
like i said, for the most part gullible mugs to the end...pretty much like the parole people... //
I don't think you need to have a friend who is a barrister to be aware that a number of criminals offer an 'insanity' plea as their defence.
But you have still failed to address my point - Peter Sutcliffe has been regularly assessed and monitored throughout his time at Broadmoor, as all patients are - and it has been decided by experts that his mental state now decrees that Broadmoor is no longer a suitable facility for him.
How do you translate that verdict into a combination of naivety, with a degree of stupidity thrown in as well?
If it's just an opinion, then it is challenged - so I remain waiting for a response, if you wish to offer one.
