Davinder attended his local hospital in July 2019 having been referred by his GP for urgent suicidal assistance for the fourth time in less than six months. He was in severe pain and mentally unstable with suicidal ideation due to his multiple health conditions, mostly which are invisible and were undiagnosed at the time (i.e., schizophrenia, FND, CFS). Davinder was very reluctant to attend because he had been discharged on three occasions previously. This was his second time to this specific hospital. He was however, admitted in December 2018 for five days due to self-harm.
Unfortunately, Davinder was discharged without any treatment or having been seen by a mental health liaison officer. An altercation ensued between the security staff and my husband. This has now been tried at Crown Court and Davinder has been convicted for the following charges:
Davinder has been informed by his barrister that he is probably facing serving 2.5-3 years in prison. We have only been married for the last six months.
This is a critical time in Davinder’s life and the decision of a custodial sentence would simply be impossible for him to maintain his strict and robust rehabilitation routine, meaning his health would invariably decline rapidly.
For example, he has severe muscle spasms for 4-6 hours every day, including the night. He often shouts and cry’s outline in pain during his episodes. During this period, he finds it very hard to breath due to his ankylosing spondylitis, adult tethered cord syndrome and mental health conditions.
In addition, he received two treatments from each of the following providers each week, so that’s 6 treatment sessions:
In terms of an appeal, Davinder was advised by his Barrister not to show the initial moments of him being man handled by an over zealous security guard, which we believe lost us our case. Is it worth appealing and what’s the procedure?
Any help would be immensely appreciated.
Many thanks
