Nice!

But sickening that she is now arguing for an absolute discharge ... if she was as sick as she said she was she needs to be in a secure facility for her own good.

I disagree, it's better for her not to be in Westminster anymore.

Mr Justice *Saunders* said he was obliged to act on the evidence of psychiatrists as he handed down a two-year supervision and treatment order.

Ahem. I'll say no more

Intriguing that you can avoid jail by using the "just not turning up" defense. What a cop-out...

Have to say that I've never come across 'anxiety about the consequences of court proceedings following unacceptable behaviour' being used as a reason for not facing the consequences of ... I think you see where this could go.

This kind of order is almost as rare as hens' teeth. A colleague spent about a week researching the darn things. Working out what they were and who exactly would be doing the 'supervison' & who the 'treatment'. Like many cases involving both criminal justice & mental health agencies, it's like watching a pass the parcel exercise - nobody wants to be holding the case on the day it is actually resolved in court.
