Leave to appeal out of time was declined because the proposed new expert evidence did not cogently undermine the correctness of the original sentence or demonstrate that the sentencing Judge misunderstood the causal evidence; the Judge had been aware of the background and lack of insight remained a valid sentencing consideration, and the Parole Board is the appropriate forum to assess ongoing risk now the MPI has expired.
