Just one more point and I promise I'll not comment on this thread again. How do you shoehorn into your mitigation the fact that Stan was drinking at the time of the incident?

I assume you're implying that it was the fact that he was pissed rather than a depressive episode that led to the incident.In my experience, generally drink takes any depressive tendencies and amplifies them. Especially the more nihilistic tendencies. I can't remember if he was diagnosed at that point, but if he was on some of the SSRI treatments such as Citalopram then the depressive tendencies can be rapidly amplified in some people

Quite the opposite. Drink amplifies any tendencies as most will know, but it doesn't bring on the state of mind of the depressive. In fact its very rare that a sufferer from depression will be able to drink enough on a night out for that to influence their behaviour. At home, in their solitude, it is more likely to be the case. But out with other people the depression will mean they actually probably drink less than usual due to wanting to be left alone, not go to a bar to order for themselves (so they don't have to interact with bar staff), not wanting to be talked to so not asked if they want a drink - thus drinking very slowly...obviously this is not the case for every person in every situation - but if Collymore was at the rage stage that would have had nothing to do with excessive alcohol.

Nothing at all?
Well unless every landlord has a psychology degree or is a behaviourist then I think other than pulling pints their opinion hardly counts.

Nothing at all? That's a different question. I'm talking about a depressive's state of mind. it's very rare that if they are having an episode that is making them feel vulnerable they are in any position to drink copious amounts of alcohol surrounded by people. When they get home then they will drink more for comfort, to punish themselves whatever. But no, it is highly unlikely that in Collymore's case that excessive alcohol contributed to his violent reaction.
