24 However, Dr Cidoni, who had the benefit of the report of Ms Lechner, and the report of the psychiatrist, Dr Deacon, and your medical history as recorded by your general practitioner and most recently had the benefit of interviewing you, did not diagnose you as suffering from a psychiatric illness or a psychological condition, and made no connection between your mental state and your offending conduct. Indeed, you reported to Dr Cidoni, as you did also to Ms Lechner, that you had not been involved in the commission of this offence and you told Dr Cidoni that you felt set up by the police. You told Ms Lechner that, although present at the time of the offence, you did not assault Christopher O'Brien, and that Haykin Aydin was the person responsible for Mr O'Brien's death, and that you felt powerless to intervene because you were scared of Haykin Aydin, a proposition which was not put to him. Ms Lechner, in her report of 13 April 2009, opined that you have a long-standing drug dependency problem that no doubt further aggravates your mood disorder, both factors impairing your judgment and reasoning skills, and that at the time of the offence you were unoccupied, using a substantial amount of marijuana and living in a house frequented by young drug users. It seems to me in these circumstances that the highest it can be put is that you may have been depressed at the time of the offence and that you were using a substantial amount of marijuana and that that may have impaired your judgment. But otherwise, in these circumstances, where it is not said that there is any psychiatric or psychological illness diagnosed such as to amount to an impaired mental functioning, and no causal connection is established between a mental disorder and the offence and indeed where you do not admit your involvement in the offence, in my view the principles of Verdins and Tsiaras do not apply to reduce your moral culpability or impact upon the considerations of general and specific deterrence.
