What a charming fellow....not.

I'm wondering why they need more time because they already have witness statements and CCTV footage of the offence :hmmm:

You're way too kind Jim. :03:

Just a pity the womans relatives weren't in the nearby seats :03:

WE HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS IN THE BAY AREA ESPCIALLY ON B.A.R.T TRANSIT WHICH I WILL NOT RIDE UNLESS ARMED: https://ktla.com/2018/07/24/3-dead-in-attacks-on-bay-areas-public-transit-system-in-5-days/ https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/09/14/bart-mob-robbery-six-victims-sue-transit-agency-over-brazen-attacks/

You can just see it coming....this (insert suitable profanity here) is going to plead some sort of insanity.

How that works in England, Jim? Are we going to see both sides marching in their doctors of choice or is there somesort of an independent assesment body?


Here in Finland the court would (on request of defence or prosecution) order the suspect into forensic psychiatric evaluation. These are carried out by Niuvanniemi hospital, a state mental hospital nearby Kuopio, Finland. If found to have been 'without understanding' at the time of the crime and also found to be danger to the public, this same institution would likely be their home for rest of their lives.

Here in the UK the defence would first make the plea backed up by their experts then the prosecution will put forward their experts and a jury will decide which one they believe.
