I think you would have to have a very dodgy brief to actually go down as an accessory to murder in the above case.

That's the irony, you're highly unlikely to be convicted by a jury, which is why the barristers are calling for a change, so that if your life is under threat, you have the diminished responsibility defence, as you shouldn't be expected to put the life of someone else above your own.
