Summary
A 24-year-old man who stabbed his mother to death with a kitchen knife has lost his bid to reduce his life sentence. Gregor Bauld, who pleaded guilty to manslaughter, was deemed a danger by the court, with judges concluding prison — not psychiatric care — was the only appropriate response. The attack, witnessed by his father, occurred after Bauld, under the influence of LSD and ketamine, claimed he was in a war and heard voices. Though a jury found him not guilty of murder due to mental illness, the judge feared his condition would worsen behind bars. The Court of Appeal upheld the life sentence, sealing his fate as he awaits transfer to prison for treatment. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
