Crash pilot convicted of threatening passenger and investigator

In a rather odd case following on from this event: http://www.pprune.org/private-flying...fordshire.html

The pilot concerned has just been convicted of making threats. The facts are still a lttle unclear but it would appear the stress of having his licence suspended after the crash caused some rather extreme behaviour.

BBC News - Crash pilot guilty of Farage death threats

Not condoning threats of violence but I'm surprised this behaviour didn't merit a plea of diminished responsibility. Even found guilty, at the very least one should expect mitigation.
