The Magistrate was entitled to reject the defence expert's hypotheses because the factual findings — the appellant's coherent and purposive conduct before and after taking the item, the lack of reliable evidence of an assault or causative head injury, and the appellant's ability to recall timing of medication and alleged events — removed the factual foundation for post‑traumatic automatism or hysterical dissociation; consequently the prosecution proved intent beyond reasonable doubt and the conviction was safe.
