CA claimed to be suicidal after the case, possibly to add to mitigating circumstances for sentencing. I think it is very relevant that CA has made possibly spurious claims of suicidal thoughts in previous difficult situations.
I say possibly spurious on the basis that a mental health assessment came back with moderate depression rather than suicide risk.
I think the judge got the sentencing right, but fuck me, I've read some really well written and considered sentencing remarks but that's some pompous drivel. Wouldn't have thought the ex girlfriend's comments re Charlie being controlling were hugely relevant.
