The court heard that Zots Knight had dementia and Alzheimer's disease, and a post-mortem report showed she had a twisted bowel that would have caused her pain. Knight visited her regularly, brushing her hair and cutting her nails, the judge said.

"Gedots case, I'm sure, was a very finely balanced one as to whether it was in the interest to prosecute in the first place."
