Supreme Court dismisses appeal regarding whether post-1996 psychological symptoms caused 1994 workplace assault.

The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal concerning the causal link between psychological symptoms arising after March 5, 1996, and the armed threat committed on March 14, 1994. The lower court found that the assault was a direct result of the appellant's pre-existing psychological state and intent at the time of the incident. The Supreme Court upheld this finding, ruling that symptoms developing later cannot retroactively negate the causality established at the time of the crime.
