'You’re serving a jail sentence in addition to your current treatment,' judge tells Veitch, who has been in hospital since he was deemed not criminally responsible for murder in 2019Graham Veitch leaves a St. John’s courtroom Monday, Feb. 27, after he was sentenced to house arrest for assaulting three Waterford Hospital workers.
A nurse and two security officers were treated for injuries, with the nurse suffering a concussion. She was off work for two weeks as a result.Selma’s case was transferred to Goose Bay, where he pleaded guilty to a charge of assault causing bodily harm and was sentenced last June to 60 days time served.
Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court Justice Sandra Chaytor determined Veitch’s mental illness had rendered him unable to appreciate the nature and consequences of his actions, saying he needed treatment and rehabilitation, not punishment. She ordered his transfer from prison to the hospital, to remain in treatment until the review board determines he is fit for release.
Gruchy and Cullihall submitted a period of house arrest would allow Veitch to continue treatment uninterrupted.
