R v Sn

• 1. EVIDENCE — terrorism trial — preliminary issues — where the accused seeks to rely on psychiatric evidence for dual purposes — whether s 7.3(6) of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth) limits the use of psychiatric evidence to the mental impairment defence only — whether the refences to ‘intention’ in the definition of a ‘terrorist act’ in the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth) are fault elements of the relevant offences
• 1. EVIDENCE — terrorism trial — preliminary issues — where the psychiatric evidence suggests the accused did not have the ‘intentions’ within the definition of a ‘terrorist act’ under the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth) — where the Crown contends the evidence is not relevant as the ‘intentions’ are to be proved by the objective character or manifest purpose of conduct — where the Crown contends that subjective evidence is not relevant — whether the subjective evidence is relevant
