From my law angle,I would be saying this as to anyone, if they couldn't now understand the charges or be questioned,or be able to answer same to the point of also not being able to understand the court proceedings.
Then unfortunate as that may be, they cannot get a fair trial,if they cannot understand or speak in defence of themselves.

No argument from me there Joey. As you say, if he is suffering from Dementia then he is incapable of defending himself and as unfortunate for British Justice as this may be, the decision not to prosecute is the correct one.
I do not think that there is ANY institution in this country (or any other for that matter) where some of the 'members' do not have 'skeletons in the closet' - and that includes the Judiciary.
