Two more little young lives cut short in this oh so cruel world of ours, RIP little Evelyn and Jasmine.

AOG - if she had a psychotic episode she might not have realised what she'd done at the time. Finding out after once medicated would be quite distressing.

Retro - I used to work in a psychiatric hospital. I know how fragile mental health is.

ummm
I recall you saying on another post.

Wasn't the chap who killed 15 homosexuals deemed to be sane. I think he was assessed by 3 psychiatrists.

Denis Neilson ? I didnt realise he had run that defence

The Yorkshire Ripper boasted to a jailer that he would get off on an insanity plea and so went thro a procedure/trial where a jury found him sane and fit to plead - and went on to be found guilty of murder

and now is a hopelessly burnt out schixophrenic in a secure unit

oops so he was mad after all .....

No - he was, and is a schizophrenic - which is a recognised mental illness.

Why do you love using the word 'mad' in an inappropriate context?

Why don't we all just wait and hear the whole story when it comes to court? Too much speculation on here. If you didn't see it with your own eyes.........

[ummmm]

If we all waited we wouldn't have much to talk about.

[maggiebee]

Well that's true. If there was no speculation or arguments (no, not discussions) on this site, it would be closed down. Don't know why we have police or courts when there are so many "experts" on here. Could save a fortune.

AH

no I afraid he was found sane and fit to plead
and so in some people's opinion ( Crown, prosecution, jury kinda important people in charge of his future ) he was sane

I always thought he was unfit to plead but you know ....
people have feigned madness for a hundred or so years ( OK mentally challgengedness ) Didnt the Brides in the Bath murderer ( Haig ) try it ? Famously refuted by Bernard Spilsbury by being invited to drink some of his own urine in the dock ?

Haige wasn't the 'Brides in the Bath' murderer, they were committed by George Joseph Smith in 1912, 1913, and 1914.

John Haigh, was known as the 'Acid Bath Murderer' committed in the late 1940s.

Ah yes. You got a much better class of serial killer back in the day.
