[2008] EWCA Crim 272

Where a defendant admitted that she had administered a drug to her daughter, despite doctors terminating the prescription, but had done so without an intention to cause harm, there still remained an issue to be tried since the jury had to decide whether she knew that there was a risk of injury to her daughter's health and administered the drug in any event.
