The expert evidence was correctly excluded because it would not be substantially helpful to the jury: the witness had not examined the appellant, relied on medical records two years old, and ADHD varies such that generalised evidence could not assist whether the appellant heard and understood a brief arrest warning; the special release conditions were justified under s93(3) given the appellant's offending history and available clinical material, so the sentence appeal failed.
