The jury took about 30 minutes to reach its decision after hearing that the insanity plea was not contested. Two psychiatrists agreed that O'Mahoney was suffering acute psychosis on the day of the attack and for several months afterwards. He was due to return to court for further assessment on 16 November 2015.
