Cleared Bristol man in cannabis warning over stabbings
A man who stabbed 11 people on a Bristol cycle path has been given a two-year supervision order by a judge.
Stanley Bailey, 55, of Barton Hill, was found not guilty by reason of insanity of the attacks with a Swiss army knife, at Bristol Crown Court in May.
The court had heard he had a long history of mental illness and was a heavy cannabis user.
After the case, Mr Bailey said he could not remember the stabbings and warned against using skunk cannabis.
Judge Simon Darwall-Smith made Mr Bailey the subject of a two-year supervision order at the court, which includes a condition that he must live at an address approved by the probation service.
He rejected placing Mr Bailey in a secure hospital or granting an absolute discharge.
On 11 May, a jury cleared Mr Bailey of 12 charges including wounding with intent, having an offensive weapon and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
