was sentenced on Thursday to nine years in prison for taking his plot to Windsor Castle, where he scaled the walls and was caught with a loaded crossbow on Christmas Day 2021.
Chail said the assassination was his life's mission, something he'd thought about since adolescence, but had only shared with the artificial-intelligence powered "girlfriend" he named Sarai.Justice Nicholas Hilliard said the seriousness of the crimes required Chail to spend time in prison, but despite conflicting diagnoses from different experts, he concluded Chail lost touch with reality and had become psychotic and and must continue treatment.
Chail, 21, pleaded guilty in February in London's Central Criminal Court to violating the Treason Act by having a loaded crossbow and intending to use it to injure the queen, possessing an offensive weapon and making threats to kill.
