London for one year.Cameron Kalani, 44, entered the grounds carrying a knife and a bag of cocaineWestminster Magistrates Court heard this week how schizophrenic Kalani “did not know” where he was at the time of the break-in, and had gone to London with the aim of getting arrested during a mental health breakdown.He told the court that he “didn’t know where he was or what was happening”, but guards searched him and found the drugs and kitchen knife with a 20cm blade.He said to the court that he was a “burden”, and would be “better off in prison”.Prosecutors accepted his guilty plea on the basis that he did not know he was intruding at Buckingham Palace, but 'a reasonable person' would have had cause to suspect they were trespassing on a protected site.His 24-week jail term was for carrying the knife and trespass was suspended for a year, and he must complete 30 rehabilitation days.
