So obviously he enjoyed that. But I think the shock factor fed him too. Now the murder of Brian Cherry horrified the public. Not only because of the whole cannibalism aspect, but also because of Brian's criminal history and long history of mental instability. Why the fuck was he out and about? Right. In a statement to the press, prosecuting attorney Aftab Jafferji said, Yeah, like,

What the fuck are you guys doing? They fucked up. Absolutely they did. And in fact, the case highlighted the serious deficiencies in the nation's dysfunctional mental health system. And a lot of people were pissed off that a clearly unstable man was allowed to just be transitioned back into the community.

In the NHS evaluation that was conducted years later, several of the doctors and nurses on Peter's team refuted the press and public's claims that they had let an obviously dangerous person out into the street with no plan, which I'm like, huh? How do you even refute that? Yeah. One of Brian's psychiatrists said, when he is relapsing, he can appear relatively free of symptoms much of the time.

In my view, this is a measure of how, when psychotic, he can appear relatively normal while remaining capable of extreme and unpredictable violence. And it's like, yeah, but why didn't you kind of like grab onto that? Right. So you know that. That's good. You've seen that. But it's too late. Don't allow him to go out and about town. Maybe take some more time to figure out what that pattern is.

Now, in fact, it was later noted that his ability to project a sense of stability and appear, you know, quote unquote normal. Sure. Is among the things that make him so dangerous. Yeah.

Now, fortunately for the victim's friends and family, Peter did plead guilty to two charges of manslaughter for the murders of Brian Cherry and Richard Loudwell, which had been reduced from the original charges of murder because of his obvious diminished capacity. Sure. This spared everyone the pain of a very sensational trial. Yeah. I mean, it would have.

With the cannibalism part, it would have gotten out of control. Poor Brian's family did not need to deal with that. And it was just moved right into the penalty phase. On March 25th, 2005, a sentencing hearing was held at the Old Bailey in London. We've heard that before.

After the hearing, Aftab Jafferji emphasized that this was not only a case of failure on the part of the mental health system, but also a situation in which the offender was thoroughly unpredictable and dangerous. Mm-hmm. He said, Yeah.

Yeah. One of them being a child. That he knew since he was a teenager. Right. And I like that he said all of that. Like he said he has a mental condition. Yes. He is mentally ill. Yes. There is an inability among experts around him to even diagnose him or to tell when he is at his most dangerous because he's that good at masking it. That's terrifying. And then there's the third aspect.

He's a cannibal. Right. And he seems to like it. Yeah. And he has now had a taste. Uh-huh. It's like when like a dog gets a taste of human flesh. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like it's not a good thing for an animal to get a taste. No. Of that. No.

And I'm glad that he put all the, like, those are all parts of why he needs to be away for life. He can't come out. Good. He said, Yep. Yep. I would say so. That's actually wrong. Fundamentally wrong. Right.
