Good News for 2022 2 Years, 4 Months ago

I gather Danny Day is going to trial for attempting to pervert the course of justice. Depending on the verdict this may be a body blow to the False Allegations Industry, where lazy incompetent or corrupt cops, crooked lawyers and liars get together to obtain millions in compensation from preferably dead celebrities or wealthy men. The Ghislaine Maxwell trial will also be a signpost.
However I have very mixed feelings. It seems Day was genuinely mentally challenged and had himself admitted he was a compulsive liar. Often believing his own lies. Which makes him medically unbalanced. In which case, is it fair to try him?
I felt equally worried by the trial of Carl Beech. And certainly by the sentence; extra ordinarily severe; totally influenced by the media.
None of which makes it any better for David Bryant, the victim of this. Nor for his late wife.
For me it's the media and police who should be prosecuted. Fat chance. And the entire judicial system.

In 2012, Day posted Mr Bryant a threatening letter stating he was going to the police with this claims, writing: 'I think it is time you and me have a chat.
'I think it is in your interest to call. One way or another you will pay for what you done.' … Day, now aged 55, also had the audacity to attempt to sue Mr Bryant for £100,000 for damages. …
The investigator uncovered a psychiatrist's report that stated Day had an 'extensive history of self-supporting as a liar'.
If he was delusional and believed his own lies (can't see that in the article, though it calls him a fantasist, which seems rather indulgent towards him) it's a remarkable coincidence he wanted money for them. Surely if he lied for money and supported himself that way, trying to blackmail David Bryant, his lies must have been deliberate and calculated.

He may have convinced himself it was all true (people that lie enough do), in which case wanting compensation might be seen as natural.
Doesn't help the poor falsely convicted, of course. But he is clearly mentally ill and if he had no mental intent to deceive - mens rea as your barrister would have it - he shouldn't be found guilty of a crime as crimes require action and mental intent.
I think that the "the system" needs to be a lot more careful and balanced in prosecutions, but I am in favour of dealing with the mentally ill outside the CJS where possible.
Protect the innocent accused with due process and a presumption of innocence carefully applied; but also the mentally ill from an inflexible system.
