A rapist who tried to cheat justice by claiming he was too fat to appear in court died of obesity, an inquiry has ruled.
Stanley Sandison, from Lossiemouth, preyed on a string of young girls in the 1960s and 70s and was jailed for seven years in 2015.
A special sitting of the high court had to be convened in Elgin because the morbidly-obese 69-year-old – who tried to claim he was unfit to stand trial – was incapable of travelling further.
Sandison, who once topped the scales at 24 stone, was convicted of raping two children and sexually assaulting three others during a “remorseless” campaign of abuse.
But just a year after his sentencing hearing – which was held in a court basement so he did not need to climb the stairs – the former distillery worker was found dead in his cell at Glenochil Prison in Clackmannanshire.
A fatal inquiry was held, and the court heard the cause of Sandison’s death was obesity and heart disease.
Sheriff David Mackie has now ruled that there were no reasonable precautions which could have been taken to avoid the death.
The inquiry heard that Sandison had lost more than seven stone after embarking on a diet in prison but could not be saved.
Good.
Soooo... he was clearly right then?
He's white wing:

How could he be right? He claimed he was too fat to face justice. He spent some time in jail, after being sentenced for his crime. Being fat is not like being insane. I really don't see how anyone could be too overweight to stand trial.
I mean, there are people out there that basically need a shipping crane to lift them.
Yes, you are absolutely correct. But that doesn't translate to "I shouldn't have to stand trial, because getting me out of my house requires cranes."
Rest in Pizza lardo.
The inquiry heard that Sandison had lost more than seven stone after embarking on a diet in prison but could not be saved.
If he had been sentenced earlier it might have saved his life.
reminds me of the dude who was taken off of death row because he was considered too fat to be hanged
You weren't too fat to rape them you blubbering cunt. I hope his last days were as miserabke as possible.
wow that's so sad, i ca-
"Sandison, who once topped the scales at 24 stone, was convicted of raping two children and sexually assaulting three others during a “remorseless” campaign of abuse."
actually you know what, nevermind. the only thing of value lost here was the lard, honestly. imagine all the soap we could have made!
Except he did stand trial and didn't die till 3 years later, so no? The article even mentions that the prison diet helped.
336 lbs isn't so obese as to limit travel.
is that really a person anymore, though
Pretty sure he was being sarcastic.
Too fat to stand trial but not too fat to rape people? Yeah fuck off back to hell for that, glad he's gone.
He fucking pulled off a Guru.
apparently the rapes were in the 60s/70s, might've developed the gluttony in the decades following.. He was a distillery worker apparently?

it was a joke
The thing is if they send his body for cremation there's a good chance it might start a small fire.
i fail to see the problem
you kid but there is a medical project at my college going on for years with people trying to develop crane systems to move extremely fat people.
all of the groups working on it give up year after year because they always break and snap in half

Problem solved
some problems seem to sort themselves out
You cannot just use solid steel like that, it would cut into the patient
When I was an EMT junior officer a few times we had to call another service to use their bariatric crane so I thought these things already existed?
Unless of course you mean designing a crane for people that are so overweight that even a bariatric crane doesn't work for them.
Yeah pretty much.
I know it sounds simple but the fact that its been years that people were working on this project and there are still problems show just how bad it really is
I don't think he's suggesting sitting on the engine. Like attach a hammock to the hook, then no steel would be touching him.
Yeah it's been a few years since I left the service and I never saw someone so big they wouldn't fit on a standard bariatric crane, but I've heard from former colleagues that sometimes they needed to phone the fire brigade (think that's the right term) to use their equipment to extract some really overweight patients.
