Finn, from Cotgrave in Nottinghamshire, told officers he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after a girl he was treating had died. He also tried to take his own life before he was arrested and charged, the court heard.
Clearly didn’t try too hard, as a medical man, he’d have known how to accomplish that if it had been a genuine intent, and not an attempt to play for sympathy.
Which thankfully, for one, didn’t work:
Andrew Wesley, for Finn, said at the appeal hearing on Friday that the sentence was too long because of 'the mathematics' of how it was reached. But the judges dismissed the appeal, with Mr Justice Johnson adding: 'This was about as egregious a breach of trust as can be imagined.' He continued: 'We conclude that the sentence imposed was not wrong in principle or manifestly excessive. 'We therefore dismiss the appeal.'
Surely a miracle that the judges didn’t fall for it, for once?
