R v Robert Paris Steward Blackmore |
| |
|
| Issue: |
Whether an extended sentence of 7 years for arson reckless as to whether life was endangered by a defendant experiencing psychotic symptoms likely reflecting the first episode of bipolar affective disorder was wrong in principle as the test of dangerousness was not met or manifestly excessive for not taking mental disorder into account as a mitigating factor. |
