Dylan Thomas's Mental Health Central to Christmas Eve Killing Trial
The court debates whether Dylan Thomas's psychosis influenced the murder of his best friend, William Bush.
- Dylan Thomas, 24, admitted to the manslaughter of William Bush but denies murder, citing mental health issues.
- Prosecutors argue Thomas demonstrated 'clear thinking' during the attack, suggesting intent rather than impaired mental capacity.
- The defense claims Thomas was suffering from psychosis, which substantially impaired his actions during the incident.
- Expert opinions differ on the extent of Thomas's mental illness, with some suggesting psychosis was a major factor in the killing.
- The jury is set to deliberate on whether Thomas's mental health issues justify a verdict of diminished responsibility.
