[2008] EWCA Crim 76

A conviction was safe where it was impossible to conclude that a person who had been a victim of childhood sexual abuse, when facing a charge of murder arising out of conduct triggered by a flashback to that abuse, would not have realised its central importance to his case. It was of central importance to the law that a person charged should advance whatever material was available to him at trial.
