00:01And this just came through. The post.
00:14How can I not rush you? Look at this.
00:30He just killed that boy. He just killed him.
00:53Drop it! Drop the sword!
01:00Stop! Are you okay?
01:05Move! Move! Move! Move! Move!
01:10Move! Move!
01:12Move! Move!
01:16Move! Move!
01:23My reflections are centred around the family of Daniel, and they always will be, as it should be.
01:28Secondary to that, I look back at the actions of my colleagues Yaz, and in particular Cameron,
01:36and I think about the way that they handled their initial response, and the lives that they saved.
01:42Once I could use my hand for normal life again, then I'm good.
01:47I returned to work, and now back frontline duties. So I'm okay.
01:53You had traits of a schizotypal disorder that played some part in you becoming psychotic.
02:09Your choosing to consume cannabis over the months and days leading up to the 30th of April last year was the dominant cause of your state that day.
02:21You had no reason to believe that cannabis would lead you to commit violent offences, still less than murderous ones of which you'd been convicted.
02:30But you had some warning of its adverse effect on you, you knew it made you paranoid, and could lead at least to panic attacks.
02:39You were saying that cannabis issues.
02:42When a business you created a place, you'd be buried at least to the level of mind, and could lead you away.
02:46If you were just a bitifice, you'd be a biteni-safety.
02:48If you were a big man who was in a room to meet you, you'd look back to the family of his life to help you out.
02:50You know, you were so lucky to see the biggest success of the creatures that were only about 200 years ago.
02:52One of the things that were rungly and you could draw the world out there,
02:54and you could deu off my head a lot of time.
02:56Not even though it was a terrible work, but you couldnt keep doing that sort of a horror movement,
02:58but you could kill it after you.
