Our thanks to Steve for this. The end of the piece:

Steven Dyble for Hart said she was a landscape gardener and had no previous convictions.

He said raw emotion had taken over on the day in question and she hadn’t been thinking rationally.

He said the injuries she had caused were superficial but accepted the offences crossed the custody threshold.

I can’t recall ever hearing of a case in which a man stabbed a woman and used the “not thinking rationally” defence.
