There's some other papers that are trying to paint this trial as some kind of "PC gone mad" thing, and even they have clearly struggled to find a photo of Lineham where he doesn't look at least a bit unhinged. I'm not trying to make this about his appearance, I just mean that there's some clear manifestations of poor mental health apparent, and he should probably try to direct his energies towards them a bit more instead.
Absolutely assessment is necessary, and anybody with MH issues should receive treatment. What's scary is a lot of weird, obsessive men don't have MH issues... they're just twisted personalities
