[2009] EWCA Crim 1372

A conviction for murder was not unsafe where a judge had admitted evidence of violent and aggressive behaviour by the offender towards members of the public in the hours immediately before and after the offence. Since the offender sought to rely upon self-defence, evidence of his pattern of behaviour on the very morning of the offence was plainly admissible.
