However, it seems that 'experts' are happy to let you roam the streets if you have done a bit more than that - if you have, in fact, killed a man:
Darrell McLeish was 19 when he was given an indefinite hospital order under the Mental Health Act for killing 29-year-old David Rodway in Bromley town centre.It's not just the parents of the murdered man, David Rodway, that (understandably) find this baffling:
But two years after the attack it has been revealed McLeish, formerly of Widecombe Road, Mottingham, is set to be allowed to go on day release from his medium-security hospital.
Bromley police borough commander Chief Superintendent Charles Griggs is also angry at the news.Don't know, Mr Griggs. But it seems to happen a lot...
He said: "I'm outraged. How can someone who was so ill that he couldn't be given a prison sentence 17 months ago have made such a miraculous recovery that he's fit to be released?"
Ah, the Deadly Ernest effect.
