Article said:
Jim Sturman, QC, for Moran, urged a swift decision on the case, saying: "These proceedings are a continual threat to her life, not just to her liberty, and the experts agree that she is unfit to plead."
He said he would be making representations to the attorney general to apply for a "nolle", a rarely used power to allow discontinuation of the case on exceptional grounds.
He told the judge: "There has to come a time that, despite the serious nature of the offences, compassion is shown".
Describing Moran's mental state, Sturman referred to press reports of her previous appearance at Westminster magistrates court, describing her as a "broken woman" and of her "sobbing uncontrollably" in the dock

Smegs, the law you are holding her to also allows compassion in the right situation, you can't switch it on and off.
There's a time for compassion. Had she shown the slightest ounce of remorse when found out then I might have found some, not much but some. however she tried and tried to keep hold of everything that she'd stolen. It would have been easy to put her hand in her pocket, pay some back, admit she was wrong. But the thieving b
