Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The trial judge had followed R v Fleming (1993) 14 Cr App R (S) 151 in imposing a life sentence rather than a restricted hospital order despite medical opinions being unanimous and a bed being available in a secure hospital, on the basis that the appellant absconding from an earlier hospital order and killing again amounted to exceptional circumstances. The Court of Appeal held that Fleming had been wrongly decided (the Court had believed that the Home Secretary released from a life sentence when in fact it was the Parole Board) and allowed the appeal in this case. |
