Man sentenced to 9 years for plotting to kill Queen Elizabeth II with a crossbow

TL;DR Summary
A Star Wars fanatic, Jaswant Singh Chail, has been sentenced to nine years in prison for attempting to assassinate Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle in 2021. Chail, who was influenced by an AI-generated chatbot named Sarai, had planned the attack for months and was caught with a loaded crossbow. The judge determined that Chail had become psychotic and lost touch with reality, but the seriousness of the crimes warranted a prison sentence. Chail will initially be returned to a secure psychiatric facility and may serve the remainder of his sentence in prison if deemed well enough.
