The man accused of deliberately running over and killing a marine rescue worker in Mullumbimby earlier this year, has pleaded not guilty in the Sydney Supreme Court today on the ground of mental illness.
The Crown accepted that 54-year old James Andrew Mitchell was suffering a mental illness when he used his car to run down 60-year-old John Foss on January 3.
The judge is expected to hand down her verdict on Wednesday.

Mans a drug abusing psycho stalker premeditated murderer? Of course it makes perfect sense to not convict him of murder, he’s suffering from an illness and it should be societies burden, I mean its not like we have institutions or facilities to put these people, bravo to the Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth on such a politically correct sentence, may non of her loved ones or friends come to such a fate as John Foss had done unto him and then the protagonist be handled with such due “care”
Since when did been crazy become a criminal defense?
