[2005] EWCA Crim 1881

Fresh evidence to establish that the offender had a viable defence of diminished responsibility at trial was not admissible as the criteria under the Criminal Appeal Act 1968 s.23(2) had not been satisfied; in particular there was no reasonable explanation for failing to adduce the evidence at the trial.
