"The prosecution said that in order to prove diminished responsibility, the defence must establish that each of the following four things are more likely than not to have existed: that when she killed Mr Slotsaa, Cierpka was suffering from an abnormality of mental functioning; and that her abnormality of mental functioning arose from a recognised medical condition; and that her abnormality of mental functioning substantially impaired her ability to understand the nature of her conduct and/or to form a rational judgment and/or to exercise self-control; and that her abnormality of mental functioning caused, or was a significant contributory factor in causing, her to kill Mr Slotsaa."
