On June 19 2020 an 80-year-old woman has been murdered. Jenny Henson, a nurse and an assistant of a priest at St Mark's Anglican Church, Chaterton, has been killed by a mentally ill man. Trevor Shirkly has a history of driving dangerously - in one of many cases, killing Henson by driving right into her car.
Trevor Shirkly is diagnosed with a bipolar affective disorder with psychotic features, because of this, he wasn't able to detect that his actions were morally incorrect. Raymond was not found guilty but instead has been hospitalized indefinitely as a special patient, meaning he would need to be detained until it was no longer needed. However, the family of Henson is in disbelief that Shirkly takes no responsibility and ownership of Henson's death and doesn't agree with Shirky's charges.
Critical literacy:
What views of the world is this text producing? Mentally ill patients shouldn't be charged guilty even though the crime is serious and should be dealt with.
