This is awful. If Amati has such extreme mental health issues that they can’t be held fully responsible for the premeditated attempted axe murders of three total strangers, why aren’t they being held in a secure psychiatric unit? One for Male bodied people, to ensure adequate staffing (female bodied people can not be feasibly expected to physically restrain male bodied people).
The reason the sentences for attempted murder and murder are the same is because being crap at actual murdering isn’t the same as not intending to kill someone.
As for the stuff about Amati’s behaviour in prison, I’ve read stuff about this kind of thing lately, how some prisoners use the rules of the admin system to exert control over other inmates and staff, filing essentially frivolous claims and making vexatious reports. It’s a well-known phenomenon (it’s pretty much the entire premise of ‘Porridge’) and the latest grift is men claiming to be trans despite never having indicated so prior to incarceration.
Obviously Amati had a well established trans identity, albeit one that had deliberately circumvented ‘gatekeeping’, but the overall behaviour fits. It must be terrifying for the women who are trapped in a locked facility with a six foot tall, male, wannabe axe murderer. One whose murderous rampage was sparked via sexual rejection by a woman.
For fucks sake!
