[2009] EWCA Crim 2988

Fresh evidence indicating that the appellant had been suffering from schizophrenia at the time of his attempt to murder the lady with whom he had been in a relationship did not undermine the safety of his conviction: things said by him during the incident and immediately after it showed that he possessed the specific intent required for the offence.
