Martin Ready, who plotted to kill a prosecutor on the dark web while identifying as 'evil Jesus', has had his sentencing postponed again due to uncertainty over hospital bed availability.
A man who plotted to kill a prosecutor on the dark web while identifying as "evil Jesus" has had his sentencing postponed again due to confusion over whether a hospital bed is available, a court heard.
During the trial at the High Court in Glasgow, Ready claimed he suffered from delusions that he was "evil Jesus" and believed the murder would expose organised crime in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, where both men were from.Ready denied the charge and lodged a special defence of lacking criminal responsibility, but this was rejected by the jury.
Mr McConnachie said: "This case was continued until today with anticipation that Your Ladyship would be able to impose interim compulsion order. What as I understood it was that we were waiting for a bed available."
