The Herald Sun published the article 'Less jail time for mad killer driver,' online on 13.12.07. It reported on the reduced sentence given to a man found guilty of manslaughter, following a high speed chase during which he was experiencing extreme symptoms of psychosis. 

StigmaWatch contacted The Herald Sun to urge editors to avoid language that demonises mental illness - or implies a link with intentional violence. 

StigmaWatch passed on reader feedback, emphasising how neutral language would help to lessen public fear and misunderstanding.
