Why did the gunman who once assassinated the Queen of England lead a royal life after the assassination?

This is just a description. During the gunman's exile, the police at that time gave him some special treatment, as if he lived a royal life, but it was not really meaningful.

When world heads of state visit, security is the top priority. However, nothing can be done so rigorously, and when there is negligence, in 1980, the Queen of England visited New Zealand and was assassinated by a local teenager, but the assassination failed in the end. Let's review the specific events together.

On the day of the visit, the Queen and her husband, Prince Philip, just got off the bus. A teenager looked at them on the fifth floor of a building not far away, pointed his gun at the Queen, and then pulled the trigger, but missed. For decades, people have been wondering whether the New Zealand police covered up the criminal facts of this teenager. But not long ago, the New Zealand police announced that they would restart the investigation procedure because of the high public concern about this incident.

According to the investigation documents, the boy's name is Lewis, and Lewis did have the idea of assassinating the Queen. But he didn't find a suitable shooting position that day, so the shooting failed. He once had a criminal history of arson, robbery and cruelty to animals, and he also worshipped some cult organizations. Although there were some evidences and signs that he wanted to assassinate the Queen, in the end he was only accused of possessing weapons and shooting, and was sentenced to three years' imprisonment.

1997, that is, on the eve of waiting for the trial, he was electrocuted in prison and died unexpectedly. After his death, the police found his autobiography, which said that during his exile, the police gave him some cash and the right to use a car, feeling like living a royal life.
