No doubt he did it but will be interesting how/if the defence tries to get him off as not responsible due to mental issues...

I'm probably wrong, but I don't think that you can appeal based on wanting to change your defense.
I think you can appeal based on errors and procedural mistakes. But you can't say, well we didn't fight this based on mental illness, but we'd like to try that now. The justice system isn't a dart board where they can keep retrying cases until a defense sticks.
