He's highly unlikely to ever get out of whichever secure unit he ends up in.
Those places aren't pleasant, & you're locked up with a lot of highly violent & highly deranged people.

Partner is walking again, albeit with a limp.
I'm conflicted, didn't fancy the hassle of the trial but wanted to look him in the face, we've not even seen a pic of him.
We'll be at the sentencing though.

2/ because he is now guilty of 5x Attempted Murder, should he ever be deemed sane he'll then transfer to a regular prison to serve those sentences. Attempted Murder carries up to Life, & the fact he made 5 attempts before finally killing on the 6th will go hard against him.

Not a lesser charge as far as our incident was concerned. He pled guilty to Attempted Murder, which it was.
Docs on both sides have found him 'fucking mental' in the words of a cop on the team. Can use the DR for murder but not Attempted.
He's looking at a very long time inside

I ride a singlespeed as a commuter bike. Definitely not easy in the wind! Living in the Pennines means my other bikes all have gears - I'm not that much of a masochist!

The cut-off is <£135 so you wouldn't have been charged I think?
The Import Duty is 2.8% so basically it's a tenner on top of the price. Just wondered how it works & when I'd get my parts.

Suppose the idea is to mount the tyre, pour in the bottle through the valve hole, mount the valve, spin the wheel then inflate?
