Nice try, you murderer!

Last week, the father-of-four applied to vacate those pleas entered on June 30 as he claimed he felt unwell, with his brain “controlled” by an evil spirit called Robert, and another, named Tony, saying “guilty, guilty” to him as he stood in the dock.

[...]

In his latest application, Khan said the spirit Tony was controlling him and telling him what to say in his defence statement and when he gave evidence. He added that it was “possible” he had killed Dr Sacharvi and Vian but he could not remember.

Since March, Khan has been treated at Ashworth Hospital in Merseyside and has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia but there was no evidence of any mental disorder prior to his behaviour in police custody.

Ruling on the matter, Mr Justice Goss said: “On the evidence adduced at the trial and his conduct during the trial, it is quite apparent that the first defendant (Shahbaz Khan) has known and understood the case against him.

“He was steadfast in his denial of responsibility for the killings until 30 June 2021 when all the evidence, to which he had paid very close attention, had been called and the initiative then came from him to reconsider his position.

“It is not suggested that his legal advisers overlooked some important matter relating to the case or his mental state, or misrepresented his position to him or put him under any pressure. It is clear he was fully advised as to his position prior to his change of pleas and the consequences.

“He had chosen to advance and maintain the defence that he was not responsible for the killings and fires until then. His mental state had not deteriorated at the time he entered his guilty pleas: there were no concerns from those responsible for his mental health as to his fitness to plead.

I imagine he managed to put on a convincing performance to get his diagnosis.

I don't know why, I thought it was reported as 30 years earlier! I must have been confusing it with his wife's sentence of 30 months.

Sorry we lost all your posts Legally.

Good. He will most likely die in jail.

Respectfully, are you endorsing the spiritual possession defense? Would you care to elaborate?
