From WYSIWYG News January 2001
A Christchurch District court judge has again blocked attempts by a 30 year-old homeless man to plead guilty to stabbing three fellow residents of the city's emergency shelter last year. Jack Taane Emery faced three counts of aggravated wounding following a bizarre midnight knife attack on three sleeping men at the Christchurch City Mission. In his first court appearance Police had opposed Emery being allowed to plea on the grounds of being unfit and he was remanded for a psychiatric assessment. When he again insisted on pleading guilty today the judge refused to accept his plea and instead ordered an experienced lawyer be assigned to represent him when he appears in court next week.
