If he does have full on dementia, punishing him would be pointless really

Punishing him is only half of it though. The other half is the victim's finally getting what happened to them heard and given credibilityIf he does have full on dementia, punishing him would be pointless really

Hopefully more questions will be asked about the failure to prosecute him over 20 years ago.
Did somebody "lean on" the DPP? I ask merely to waste bandwidth as the papers will have been shredded, notebooks lost and memories faded.

And will remain a Lord even if convicted.
What an absolute disgrace.

Fully agree One Ball, the victims wouldn't have known why or what was going on.....live by the sword die by the sword.

A couple of of questions:
1. If i had dementia but was conviceted of a crime commited whilst compus mentas (sp?) would i face punishment, be it a fine or a prison sentence?
2. What are the official reasons for people with dementia not getting sent to jail, surely a secure hospital, such as broadmoor would be more than suitable for someone convicted in these circumstances?
3. On a moral level, why shouldnt we (as a country) punish people in the situation Janner finds himself in?

Broadmoor and the like are for people who commit crimes while mentally ill, i think so anyway. As for points 2 and 3, the answer is the same for both. A person with dementia will not be able to afford himself a proper and adequate defence to the charges- which is his right in law.

Technically if he has dementia will probably remember the alleged incidents more that he would remember the last time he pissed his pants.

Yes. Just like they've 'lost' those notes and files in Rotherham.

If he is fit enough to sit in the house of lords and pocket his expenses then he is fit enough to be on trial
