|Sentence=Appeal against life sentence
|Summary=The unrepresented appellant sought to appeal his life sentence, essentially on the basis that his mental health problems had not properly been addressed at trial, and sought an extension of time of over 20 years as "I did not know until now I could appeal under the Mental Health Act". He was unsuccessful: his mental health problems were known at the time, diminished responsibility had not been raised at trial, and he had been convicted of murder for which the only possible sentence is life.
