davebro - // He won't want to go to a normal jail - if he can convince them he's nuts he'll get sent to Broadmoor (if found guilty of course!). //
The issue of sanity is not a matter of the individual 'convincing' anyone - the decision is taken by a panel of trained and experienced psychiatrists who will assess the individal's mental state at the time of trial, and offer an informed opinion of their likely mental state at the time the crime for which they are being charged was committed.
If it were simply down to the prisoner's behaviour, then Broadmoor would be twenty times the size it is now.

I am not sure quite why Broadmoor is often regarded as a 'soft' option when it comes to incarcerating ne'er do wells.
He certainly seems to have snapped. It would be interesting to find out what was the 'stresser' in his melt-down. Hopefully, he won't be able to smash his head to pieces before all the facts are gained.
