shooting in the cottage in which he had been living, but
claimed to have been unable to remember anything after
taking the drugs. The defendant was convicted of causing
criminal damage being reckless as to whether life would beendangered, following the trial judge’s direction to the jury

defence to a basic intent crime. The defendant appealed.
