So they locked you up for being mental and only a danger to yourself? I think not
Pretending to be a doctor and getting a pregnant woman to run around is not really acceptable behaviour, mind you I have a confession, I once kicked a pregnant woman in the stomache

No, I was subjected to a custodial sentence (which, I'd point out, I was released from at the earliest opportunity - 40 days into a 16 week sentence) locked up for reasons which remain highly questionable and remain subject to formal review to this date.
Part of the reason for the review - the details of which I'm not going to go into here for reasons of space and time as much as anything else - is that the following individuals in the courtroom (or represented) recommended against a custodial sentence:
Defence team (as one would expect and hope)
Probation service (recommended a community service and treatment order)
Prosecution (recommended that at most a suspended sentence might be in order)
Note also: this was a first offence with no prior history of offending and no offending since been in full-time, regular, frequent treatment (summer 2007 - date).
I didn't see the reporting of this and can only guess as to the quality of the media coverage - sensationalism sells. Equally, I guess that none of the above appeared anywhere near the coverage.

I agree with you.
If that precis were factual, it'd be wholly unacceptable behaviour and I further agree with you that some of my actions during the time period being considered (October 2006 - June 2007) were wholly unacceptable.
Turning however to those nasty things, facts, I asked the pregnant woman to come off the exercise but - having no authority to order her off the exercise - was unable to force her off. I did however ask a paramedic who was on the exercise at the same time to look after her and she was taken home.

Me too, she had it coming! I did it repeatedly! Not done it for the past 42 (nearly 43 years).
