13 Imprisonment of intellectually disabled man 'embarrassing' February 23, 2013 Jane Lee AN INTELLECTUALLY disabled man was left in prison for more than a year for a crime he could not have understood, largely because accommodation could not be found for him. County Court Judge Mark Taft called Ross Cunningham's 371 days on remand an ''embarrassment to the administration of criminal justice'' in a ruling on Friday after he found him not guilty by reason of mental impairment. Mr Cunningham, 62, has a life-long intellectual disability and has declined with the early stages of dementia.... The judge said that the man should have been identified at an early stage and fast-tracked for a fitness or impairment hearing. Mr Cunningham had spent more time in jail than he would have if he had pleaded guilty to the crime, he said.
